About this map

Lake Cumberland dominates this 2022 survey of the southern Kentucky borderlands, where the irregular shoreline carves deep into the landscape of Wayne and Russell counties. The map documents a rugged topography defined by long ridges and intricate hollows, such as Denny Ridge and Mill Hollow, which dictate the winding paths of rural roads. Small settlements like Jabez and Eadsville are situated on higher ground, serving as hubs for the surrounding homesteads and small family burial grounds.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of family-named cemeteries, including Coffey Cem, Norfleet Cem, and Hatfield Cem. These landmarks, along with the Memorial Turners Gardens, provide a clear picture of the local ancestry and community structure. The landscape is also characterized by prominent points and knobs, such as Ramsey Point and Pierce Mtn, which offer vantage points over the complex network of creeks and branches that feed the reservoir.
