About this map

Jamestown serves as the focal point of this region, situated on the plateau just north of the expansive waters of Lake Cumberland. The landscape is defined by the jagged, flooded fingers of the reservoir, which has transformed the historical drainages of Pumpkin Cr and Lily Cr into deep-water bays. This 2013 survey shows the extensive development of the shoreline for recreation, marked by the presence of the State Dock, Jamestown Dock, and Pleasant Hill Dock.

Further inland, the rural character of Russell County is preserved in small communities like Freedom, Sewellton, and Rose Crossroads. Local history and genealogy are anchored by family-named landmarks and resting places such as Keen Cem and Lawless Cem. The road network, including names like Woolen Mill Rd, hints at the earlier industrial heritage that existed before the valley was dominated by the modern reservoir system.
