About this map

Jamboree and Fedscreek anchor this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the intricate drainage patterns of the Johns Creek and Feds Creek watersheds define the settlement layout. The landscape is characterized by narrow hollows like Pigeonroost Hollow and Fox Hollow, separated by high ridges such as Phelps Old Mount and Hylton Knob. These steep slopes dictated the placement of early mountain roads and homesteads, including those found near Coleman and Dunlap.

Industry and local history are marked by the presence of the K B C Mine RD and familial landmarks like the Phillips Cem. The terrain is split by the Kentucky Virginia state line and the Pike County and Buchanan County boundary, reflecting the region's complex political geography. Numerous waterways, including Blackberry Fork, Mudlick Fork, and Hurricane Fork, illustrate the dense network of forks and branches that supported timber and coal interests throughout the twentieth century.
