About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses much of this Menifee County landscape, where deep hollows and narrow ridges dictate the patterns of rural settlement. The community of Scranton sits along the winding course of Beaver Cr, while the county seat of Frenchburg is tucked against the western edge of the quadrangle near Donathan Rock. This 2019 survey documents a network of small, family-linked settlements and cemeteries that remain central to the area's identity.

Genealogists and local historians can trace lineage through numerous burial sites like McCausey Ridge Cem and Station Cem, often situated on high ground above the creek drainages. The Shel Towee Trace NRT traverses the ridges, following the natural topography between Mariba and Denniston. The map reveals a landscape still largely defined by its drainages, such as Meyers Fork and Brushy Fork, which have shaped the placement of roads like Pomeroyton Denniston Rd and the small crossroads of Wellington.
