About this map

The rolling highlands of Rockcastle Co meet the borders of Lincoln Co and Pulaski Co in this detailed survey. This area is characterized by a dense network of small communities and family-named knobs, reflecting a long history of upland settlement and agriculture. Small hubs like Level Green, Ottawa, and Willailla anchor the landscape, while the rugged topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Purcell Knob, Cable Knob, and Friendship Knob.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the distribution of rural cemeteries, including Providence Cem, Poplar Grove Cem, and Sayers Cem, which are often located near old church sites and crossroads. The drainage patterns of Brushy Cr, Bee Lick Cr, and Dorman Cr dictate the winding paths of rural roads like Dorman Creek Rd and Walnut Grove Rd, tracing the same routes used by generations of residents in the Sinking Valley region.
