About this map

Mammoth Cave National Park defines the southern boundary of this 1966 topographic study, where the wooded ridges of Edmonson County meet the winding waters of Nolin River Lake. This era follows the transformation of the Nolin River into a reservoir system, creating a landscape of deep-water coves and new recreational settlements like Nolin Lake Estates and Linwood Park.

Remote upland communities remain visible through local landmarks such as Demunbruns Store and the Union Light Ch. The map preserves several points of genealogical and historical interest, including the Cove Hollow Cem and the Wilderness Road tracing the river's western bank. Distinctive geological features such as Dismal Rock, Whistle Mtn, and Bylew Cave appear alongside the intricate drainage patterns of Conoloway Creek and Long Creek, illustrating the rugged karst topography typical of this region.
