2016 Map of Russell Springs

About this map

Russell Springs and Jamestown anchor this central Russell County landscape, where the plateau begins its descent toward the winding inlets of Lake Cumberland. The modern corridor of the Cumberland Pkwy cuts across the center of the sheet, providing a stark contrast to the older network of ridge roads and small settlements like Sano, Webbs Cross Roads, and Fonthill. The topography is defined by a series of prominent rises including Clear Spring Ridge and McClendon Ridge, which separate the various drainage basins of Caney Fork and Big Clifty Cr. Local history is preserved in family and community burial grounds such as Hillcrest Cem and Lucenda Cem, while the Russell County Airport serves as a contemporary landmark near the southern edge of the survey area.
