About this map

Jamestown serves as the hub of this region, situated just north of the extensive, winding shoreline of Lake Cumberland. The landscape is defined by the dendritic pattern of creeks and branches that feed the reservoir, including Lily Creek, Greasy Creek, and Clifty Creek. These waterways carve deep into the terrain, creating prominent landmarks like Wright Hollow and School House Hollow. Historically significant settlements such as Rowena, Freedom, and Sewellton are connected by a network of rural roads that often follow the high ridges between the lake's many inlets.

Genealogists will find interest in several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Lawless Cemetery near Rose Crossroads and the Keen Cemetery located near the water's edge. The local economy and recreation are represented by sites such as Jamestown Dock and State Dock, while natural features like Lowgap Island and Pig Pen Point highlight the complex geography created by the damming of the river.
