About this map

The Big South Fork Cumberland River carves a winding path through this region, creating a landscape defined by dramatic bluffs and steep hollows. The settlement of Nevelsville and the rail-related locale of Morton Station sit amidst a network of ridges, including Day Ridge and Step Up Rock Ridge. This 2010 survey highlights the prominence of natural landmarks like Pinnacle Rock, Hens Nest Cliff, and Hanging Rock, which dominate the river's corridor alongside numerous hollows such as Patterson Hollow and Silvermine Hollow.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites, including Jonesville Cemetery, Keith Cemetery, and Phillips Cemetery. The area’s recreational importance is marked by the Natural Arch Scenic Area and Yahoo Falls Scenic Area, while access to the water is maintained through the Pilot Rock Boat Ramp and Big Creek Boat Dock. This map documents a topography where rural roads like Tommy Morrow Ridge Road and Jonesville Cemetery Road follow the high ground above the deep river valleys.
