About this map

The Rockcastle River snakes through a deeply dissected landscape where the boundaries of Rockcastle, Jackson, and Laurel counties meet. This area of the Daniel Boone National Forest is defined by high ridges and numerous hollows, including Boone Hollow, Ford Hollow, and Margaret Hollow, reflecting a long history of family settlement in the narrow valleys. The community of Livingston serves as a central point along US Hwy 25-South Wilderness Rd, a route following the historical path into the Kentucky interior.

Local history is preserved in small upland cemeteries such as Jep Hill Cem, Robinson Cem, and Hacker Cem that dot the wooded hillsides. Recreation and transit intersect on the Sheltowee Trace NRT, which traverses the eastern heights near Windy Ridge. From the rail-side community of Mullins to the scattered homes at Symbol, the map reveals a rugged terrain where life remains closely tied to the winding watercourses like Roundstone Creek and Horse Lick Creek.
