About this map

Nolin Lake dominates this 2019 survey, its winding branches reaching into the deep hollows where the borders of Grayson, Hart, and Edmonson counties converge. The terrain is marked by distinctive geological formations such as Dismal Rock, Chimney Stack, and Whistle Mtn, illustrating the complex karst topography of the region. To the south, the northern edge of Mammoth Cave National Park appears along the Nolin River, emphasizing the transition from recreation-focused lakefront to protected wilderness.

Local history is preserved in the placement of the Hill Grove Missionary Baptist Church Cem and Cove Hollow Cem, providing valuable points of reference for genealogists. The map also documents established lakeside communities and infrastructure, including the Lakeview Airport, the recreation hub at Wax, and small settlements like Moutardier, Linwood, and Cub Run that serve the area's rural and seasonal populations.
