About this map

Highcliff and the surrounding mountain settlements of Campbell County sit along the winding corridor of the Clear Fork river in this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with steep-sided hollows like Slaughter Pen Hollow and York Hollow tucked between prominent elevations such as Big Four Mountain and Rich Mountain. This area has long been shaped by its coal mining and timber geography, evidenced here by the clusters of small communities like Red Ash, Morley, and Chaska that follow the valley floors and narrow gap passes.

Transport routes are dictated by the terrain, with roads like Sandy Flats Rd and Gatliff Rd tracing the drainage patterns of Cane Creek and Mud Creek. Notable landmarks for local historians include the scattered gaps and ridges, such as Gravely Gap and Sand Rock Ridge, which have historically partitioned these communities. The map provides a detailed view of the rural infrastructure near the Kentucky border, where places like White Oak and Little White Oak maintain their distinct identities amidst the heavily forested slopes of the Cumberland Plateau.
