2019 Map of Leighton

About this map

The hills of the Daniel Boone National Forest dominate this 2019 survey, where the border of Estill and Jackson counties follows the winding course of Station Camp Creek. Small, dispersed settlements like Drip Rock and Alumbaugh are connected by narrow roads following the hollows and ridges of the Kentucky landscape. For family historians, this map provides an exceptional density of family-named burial sites, including Gabbard Cem, Flynn Cem, and James Scrivner Cem, suggesting deep multi-generational roots in the area. The terrain is marked by distinctive karst features, most notably Wind Cave and Wind Cave (mine), while landmarks like Cedar Point Ridge and Wilson Mtn define the local topography. This document preserves the modern distribution of these rural communities as they intersect with federal forest lands and rugged stream systems.
