About this map

The Log Mountains and several prominent spurs define the rugged landscape of this Knox County region, where coal mining and timber heritage are etched into the terrain. Names like Cannel Coal Hollow, Dunns Camp Hollow, and Loom Hollow suggest the early industrial and domestic activities that once characterized these narrow valleys. Small settlements including Kayjay, Wheeler, and Davisburg are connected by winding routes such as Centers Branch Rd and the Davisburg Trl.

High points are anchored by the Kentucky Ridge Lookout Tower and gaps like Brush Creek Gap and Fuson Gap. For genealogists, the map is a primary record of family-named burial grounds, including the Mason Cemetery, Old Carroll Cemetery, and Bratcher Cemetery. Water features like Chenoa Lake and the various forks of Greasy Creek drain the complex topography, providing a detailed look at the area's drainage and settlement patterns.
