About this map

McKee serves as the focal point for this portion of Jackson County, Kentucky, where the McKee Post Office anchors a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The terrain is intricately divided by watercourses such as War Fork and Pigeon Roost Creek, creating a network of isolated settlements and family-named landmarks. The presence of Stelle Cemeteries in the northwest and smaller communities like Macedonia, Gray Hawk, and Oak Grove reflects a long-standing rural settlement pattern.

Transportation through the area follows the winding contours of the land, with routes like Nell Ridge Rd and McCammon Ridge Rd connecting various peaks. Notable local features including Big Buck Lick and Granny Dismal Creek highlight the unique regional nomenclature. This 2011 survey also records recreational and rural land use, from the Turkey Foot Campground to the timber-managed zones along Brushy Ridge.
