About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest covers much of this landscape, where the boundary between Jackson and Rockcastle counties winds through a network of creeks and ridges. The area is defined by small rural hubs such as Johnetta, Climax, and Goochland, which served as local centers for agricultural and timber life in the early 1950s. The topographic detail reveals a community-focused landscape marked by numerous one-room schoolhouses like the Owen Allen Sch and Pine Grove Sch, alongside country churches including Corinth Ch and New Hope Ch.

Industrial activity is evident in the Strip Mines located near the center of the sheet and a Quarry to the northeast. Transportation follows the natural contours of the land, with roads tracing the path of Horse Lick Creek and its many tributaries. Notable landmarks like the New Hope Lookout Tower and Anglin Falls provide specific points of reference for those tracing the historical geography of this Appalachian region.
