About this map

Sawyer and Baldrock anchor this McCreary County landscape, where the convergence of the Cumberland River and the Rockcastle River creates a complex network of waterways and ridges. The 2013 geography is defined by significant water management and recreational infrastructure, including the expansive Lake Cumberland and Laurel River Lake. This era shows a transition toward heavy forest management and outdoor tourism, evidenced by numerous facilities such as the London Dock Marina, Holly Bay Marina, and several dispersed campgrounds like Sawyer Campground and Bark Camp.

Genealogists can identify localized family landmarks and burial sites, including Hamilton Cem near Fishing Cr and Price Cem further south. The map documents the intricate drainage system of the Cumberland plateau, where named hollows like Wilson Hollow and Broad Gap Hollow cut between prominent elevations such as Barnett Ridge and Curd Garden Ridge. This topographic record provides a clear look at the roads and trails serving these remote settlements and recreational hubs.
