About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this border region, where the Kentucky and Tennessee state lines meet. This 1980 revision documents an area defined by heavy resource extraction, evidenced by numerous Strip Mine operations carved into the ridges of Chitwood Mountain and Anderson Mountain. The settlement of Stephens and various family-named burial sites, including Hayes Cr Cem and Adkins Cem, are concentrated along the complex drainages of Jellico Creek and Gum Fork. The terrain is marked by steep transitions between high points like Corner Tree Knob and deep hollows, reflecting a late 20th-century landscape where traditional rural life and industrial mining coexisted in the Cumberland Plateau.
