2013 Map of Rose Hill

About this map

Rose Hill and Boons Path serve as central nodes in this landscape where the Appalachian foothills meet the Virginia-Kentucky border. The area is defined by the Martins Fork Cumberland River as it winds through several named gaps, including Britton Gap and Middleton Gap. Local industry and commerce are marked by locations like Edds Mill and Carrol Mill, while the impounded waters of Martins Fork Lake dominate the northeastern corner near Smith. Numerous hollows, such as Long Hollow and Possum Hollow, suggest the traditional settlement patterns of the region, where homes and small farms clustered along drainage lines like Hardy Cr and Yellow Cr. Small communities including Henegartown, Smiley, and Hagan dot the secondary roads, preserving the names of local families and long-standing hamlets within Lee County.
