About this map

Shopville and the surrounding highlands of eastern Pulaski County are defined by a complex network of ridges and hollows where the Cumberland Plateau begins its transition. Small settlements like Stab, Dahl, and Vanhook are linked by winding roads that follow the contours of the land, such as Dahl-Elrod Rd and London Rd. The area is characterized by numerous family and community landmarks, including the Pleasant View Church and Fellowship Church, along with several historic burial grounds like Renfro Cem and Childress Cem.

Drainage patterns across the quadrangle are carved by waterways like Buck Creek and Sinking Valley, while prominent elevations such as Coal Pit Knob, Fanny Knob, and Buzzard Knob punctuate the horizon. The southeastern corner of the map encompasses a portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest near Acorn, reflecting the managed timberlands and conservation efforts in this part of Kentucky. This terrain, with its numerous named points like Brushy Point and Custer Bluff, illustrates the persistence of small-scale rural communities within a heavily forested and dissected landscape.
