2022 Map of Parmleysville

About this map

Parmleysville and the high ridges of the Cumberland Plateau define this 2022 survey of southern Kentucky. The landscape is marked by a deep genealogical record, preserved through numerous small family burial grounds such as the Lewis Coffey Family Cem and the Gregory-Corder Cem. Along the winding course of the Little South Fork, the terrain rises into dramatic sandstone features including Joe Hurt Cliff and Rattlesnake Cliff. The settlement patterns at Mount Pisgah and Burfield remain tied to the narrow hollows and creek bottoms that provide passage through the dense woods of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Local history is embedded in the names of the land, from the Raccoon Johnny Smith Spring to the prominent heights of Big Pilot Knob. This edition provides a contemporary look at the complex intersection of private landholdings and protected forest areas in Wayne County.
