2013 Map of Rush

About this map

Means Tunnel stands as a significant landmark in this section of Boyd and Carter counties, where narrow hollows and winding creek beds dictate the placement of local communities. Small settlements like Music, Denton, and Coalton are linked by a network of rural roads that follow the natural topography of the land, including Fannin Hollow Rd and Wilson Creek Rd. Numerous family burial grounds, such as Sally Cem and O'Neal Cem, are tucked away in the higher elevations above drainage points like Williams Cr and Rush Cr. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage pattern, where names like Foggy Hollow and Hogshead Hollow describe the character of the terrain. This record of the early 21st century provides an important view of traditional Kentucky settlements and cemeteries before further modern development.
