About this map

Pine Mountain and the Cumberland River dominate the landscape of Bell County in this detailed topographical study. The river bends sharply through Pineville and Wasioto, creating a valley corridor that has long served as a primary transportation artery. Cultural and educational landmarks are prominent, including the Clear Creek Baptist Bible Coll near Clear Creek Springs and the Laurel Cove Amphitheater situated at the base of the ridge.

Genealogists will find numerous family burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Knuckle Cem in Ferndale, Slusher Cem near Ponza, and Taylors Cem on the slopes of Rocky Face. The southern portion of the map transitions into the Cumberland Gap National Historical Park, where the elevation rises significantly toward Cumberland Mountain. Water features like Cannon Cr Lake and Bartleys Lake highlight the area's managed water resources alongside natural drainage like Yellow Creek.
