About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest covers a significant portion of this eastern Kentucky landscape, where the borders of Breathitt, Owsley, Perry, and Clay counties converge. Small settlements are tucked into the narrow valleys, including Mistletoe, Dalesburg, and Whoopflarea, connected by winding routes like State Hwy 484 and Freeman Fork Rd.

Characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, the terrain includes local landmarks such as Cherry Tree Knob and Bargers Knob. The naming conventions of the hollows, such as Still House Hollow, Toenail Hollow, and Ground Hog Hollow, reflect the traditional Appalachian culture and natural environment of the area. Water features are defined by the various forks of the river system, notably the Falls of Buffalo and the drainage of Beatty Fork.
