About this map

The Big South Fork Cumberland River carves a deep, winding path through this region of the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and cliffs, including Silvermine Cliff, Pinnacle Rock, and Yellow Cliff. The small settlement of Nevelsville sits atop a ridge, connected to the surrounding countryside by narrow roads like H Keith Road.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named burial grounds scattered across the ridges and hollows, such as Gran Young Graveyard, Jane Keith Cem, and Davy Cad Cem. The area’s spiritual and social history is further marked by the Lower Turkey Creek Baptist Church Cem and the Freedom Cem. For outdoor researchers, the Sheltowee Trace (Segment A) Trail follows the river's course, linking landmarks like The Narrows and Wolf Ridge.
