About this map

The Kentucky River and its major tributary, the Red River, dictate the rugged geography of this Estill and Madison County borderland. In the early 1950s, the winding waterway is defined by dramatic meanders such as Maupin Bend, Thornburg Bend, and the Lower Bend. Navigation on the river is marked by the presence of Lock No 11, while the high ridge known as the Devils Backbone rises sharply between the converging currents.
