The Rockcastle River snakes through the heart of the Cumberland National Forest, defining the boundary between Jackson Co and Laurel Co. This 1950s landscape is characterized by its isolation, where narrow hollows like Black Lick Branch and Pigeon Roost Branch are home to numerous small country schools and churches that served a dispersed timber and farming population. Notable settlements include Parrot (Letter Box) and Dabolt, providing a look at rural life before modernization fully transformed these upland communities.
