2019 Map of Sawyer

About this map

Sawyer and Baldrock anchor this rural landscape in McCreary County, where the convergence of the Cumberland River and Rockcastle River defines the local topography. This 2019 survey captures the area within the Daniel Boone National Forest, showing a network of ridge-top roads like Sulphur Road and high-ground settlements. Genealogists will find the locations of Hamilton Cem and Price Cem well-documented near the deeply carved river bends. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the waters of Laurel River Lake, including the distinctive Long Bend and Holly Bay. Recreational infrastructure is noted at the Rockcastle Rec Area and a Scout Camp further north, illustrating how this portion of the Cumberland Plateau balances forest conservation with regional water management and public access.
