About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest covers the majority of this Kentucky landscape, characterized by the winding drainage of Cane Creek and the deep waters of Laurel River Lake in the southwest. The terrain is marked by both natural landmarks like the Natural Arch and industrial signatures of the late 20th century, including several Strip Mine operations scattered along the ridges. For those researching local history, the map preserves the locations of rural institutions such as the Baldrock School and the Baldrock Lookout Tower, alongside numerous country sanctuaries like New Hope Ch, Moores Chapel, and Locust Grove Ch. The settlement patterns around Keavy and Maple Grove reveal a community deeply connected to the ridgelines and the many cemeteries—including Bunch Cem and Pine Creek Cem—that serve as enduring links to the area's family lineages.
