2016 Map of Salt Lick

About this map

Clear Creek Furnace stands as a significant industrial landmark within the Daniel Boone National Forest, signaling the region's historical iron-working legacy. The terrain is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows, including Wolfpen Hollow and Dark Cave Hollow, which drain toward the expansive Cave Run Lake. Along the northern edge, the settlement of Salt Lick sits near the Licking River, serving as a gateway to the wooded uplands of Bath County. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape where modern recreation around the reservoir meets deep-seated local history, evidenced by numerous family burial grounds such as Alfrey Cem and Dickerson Cem. Topographic features like Carrington Rock and Tater Knob provide prominent navigational points for those exploring the rugged backcountry of the Cumberland Plateau.
