About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest dominates much of this landscape in Laurel County, encompassing a network of ridges and narrow creek valleys. Settlements like Keavy, Hightop, and Cold Hill are situated along the more developed ridges, where the terrain levels out enough for residential and agricultural use. The area is deeply dissected by water, with Sinking Cr and Cane Creek carving out the geography between major landmarks such as Fishtrap Ridge and Dog Divide.

Genealogists will find several family-named and local burial sites preserved on this map, including Nix Cem, Early Cem, and Floyd Cem. Outdoor history is represented by the Sheltowee Trace NRT and the Sheltowee Trace Trl, while the southern reaches show the waters of Laurel River Lake. The road network, including State Hwy 552 and Reed Valley Rd, illustrates the modern connectivity of these historically isolated communities.
