2019 Map of Parrot

About this map

The South Fork Rockcastle River and Middle Fork Rockcastle River wind through the dissected uplands of the Daniel Boone National Forest, defining the rugged border between Jackson and Laurel Counties. This landscape is marked by small upland settlements and family-oriented landmarks, such as Dabolt, Victory, and Peoples. The map provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous remote burial grounds including Mount Zion Cem, Cornett Cem, and Lear Cem. A network of rural roads, such as Black Ridge Road and Old County Road, connects these isolated communities and follows the narrow ridges above the river valleys. The presence of the Sheltowee Trace NRT indicates the importance of long-distance trail systems through the central Kentucky forestlands, while local names like Moores Creek and Eberle point to established rural homesteads.
