About this map

Rocky Fork Lake anchors this part of Highland County, providing a central geography for several small settlements and rural landmarks. Established mill sites like McCoppin Mill, Beaver Mill, and Barretts Mills suggest a history tied to the drainage patterns of Rocky Fork and its tributaries, such as Puncheon Run and Plum Run. These waterways historically dictated the location of industry and early homesteads across the undulating landscape.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and denominational burial grounds throughout the area. From the Hicksite Quaker Cem near Stringtown in the north to the Pumill Cem in the south, these sites help trace early migration and faith communities like the Friends Cem and Christian Union Cem. The transition from older settlements like Carmel and Marshall to newer developments like Highland Holiday near Rocky Fork Point illustrates the area's shift toward recreation and seasonal residency.
