About this map

Pomeroyton and Valeria sit at the northern edge of a landscape defined by the deep incisions and sandstone formations of the Daniel Boone National Forest. This 2016 survey documents the intricate geology of the Red River Gorge area, where numerous natural arches and rock features are clustered along the ridges. Notable formations include Cloud Splitter, Sky Bridge, and Angel Windows, as well as Rock Bridge Arch and Castle Arch.

The map details the winding roadway network that follows the top of ridges like Calaboose Ridge and Osborne Bend Ridge, illustrating how the difficult terrain has shaped movement through Wolfe, Menifee, and Morgan counties. Remote valleys like Tight Hollow remain largely undeveloped, contrasting with the scattered dwellings along Clifty School Rd and Taylor King Rd. This topography highlights the distribution of named landmarks such as Hens Nest Rock and Tower Rock, which serve as permanent navigational anchors in this complex environment.
