About this map

Red Boiling Springs anchors the southern portion of this region, situated among the intricate drainage networks of Salt Lick Cr and Witcher Hollow Br. The area is defined by its deep cultural history, evidenced by a high density of family cemeteries including the Cothron - Gregory Cem, Whitley Cem, and Reeves Cem. These sites are scattered through the hollows and along the ridges that straddle the state line between Tennessee and Kentucky.

Small rural settlements like Hermitage Springs, Winklers Crossroads, and Jenkins Village serve as local hubs connected by a complex web of backroads such as Lafayette Rd and Carthage Rd. The landscape is carved by numerous waterways like Trace Cr and Line Cr, which flow through named depressions like Whitley Hollow and Long Hollow. Red Boiling Springs Lake Number One provides a rare contained water feature in this otherwise stream-carved terrain.
