About this map

The Old Narrows and the Cumberland River define the northern corridor of this Bell County landscape, where the valley tightens near Wasioto. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Yellow Cr, with communities like Ferndale and Meldrum established along the transportation routes that cut through the surrounding ridges. To the south, Binghamtown sits near the Yellow Cr Bypass, marking the edge of a more developed urban footprint.

Cultural and recreational sites are prominent features, including the Laurel Cove Amphitheater and the Hemlock Garden Picnic Area near Clear Creek Springs. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered across the hollows, such as Wilder Cem, Greene Cem, and Knuckle Cem. The topography is characterized by steep rises like Rocky Face and Canada Mountain, which hem in the reservoir of Cannon Creek Lake and separate the various creeks and branches that feed the regional river systems.
