2016 Map of Means

About this map

Jeffersonville and Means anchor this rural landscape where the Cumberland Plateau begins to rise into the Daniel Boone National Forest. Situated along Main St, these communities are defined by a network of winding roads like Science Ridge Rd and Silver Ridge Rd that navigate a dense topography of named knobs and hollows. The map illustrates a transition from the lower settlements of Camargo and Lucky Stop into the higher elevations of the Montgomery and Powell County line. Distinctive geological markers such as Chimney Rocks and Sand Mtn sit amidst family-named landmarks like Kashs Knob, Gibson Hollow, and Pottersville Hollow, reflecting a long history of local settlement. The drainage patterns of Clay Lick and Lower Cane Creek further delineate the complex ridge-and-hollow system that characterizes this portion of Kentucky.
