About this map

The Red River carves a deep path through this portion of Wolfe County, dictating the layout of communities like Lee City and Belknap. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, where numerous forks and branches—such as Trent Fork, Frozen Creek, and Caney Branch—create a series of narrow valleys where early settlements took root. These winding corridors shaped the local transportation network, with roads like Trent Fork RD and Caney Branch RD following the natural contours of the water.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family-named burial sites such as Gibbs Cemetery, Field Branch Cemetery, and Clear Fork Cemetery. The presence of the Ezel Lookout Tower in the north provides a high-altitude reference point overlooking the surrounding hollows. Small hamlets like Taulbee, Rock Lick, and Mountain Valley are documented here, showing the distribution of rural life along the lower reaches of Joe Ward Fork and Clear Fork.
