2016 Map of Rockholds

About this map

The Cumberland River winds through the southeastern corner of this terrain, marking the lower boundary of a landscape defined by deep hollows and prominent ridges. Small communities like Rockholds, Perkins, and Louden anchor the valleys, connected by a network of rural routes such as Old Corbin Rd and Maple Creek Rd. The map is particularly rich for family history research, documenting numerous small burial grounds including McNeil Cem, Davis Cem, and Hart Cem. These sites, often positioned on hillsides or near named gaps like Whitley Gap, suggest a long history of generational settlement. High points such as King Mtn and Lawson High Top provide a clear view of the complex drainage system of creeks like Watts Cr and Meadow Cr that have carved out the area's distinctive topography.
