About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest covers the western portion of this 2016 survey, where the rugged terrain of eastern Kentucky is defined by a dense network of hollows and family cemeteries. The landscape is a complex of narrow valleys like Little White Pine Hollow and Wiles Stevens Hollow, which drain into water bodies such as Old Trace Creek and Saw Pit Branch. Small communities and rail-related features anchor the southern corridor, most notably Haldeman and the Triplet Tunnel near Tunl Cut Lp.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial grounds throughout the area, including the Enex- Sloan Cemetery, Mabry Hill Cemetery, and the Barney Fultz Cemetery. These sites, often located near former homesteads in places like Upper Tygart or Fitch, provide critical spatial data for tracing family roots. The presence of the Flat Fork Church Cemetery and numerous smaller plots like the King Family Cemetery reflects the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Carter, Rowan, and Lewis counties.
