About this map

Somerset and the neighboring industrial community of Ferguson serve as the focal points of this 2019 survey, where the Norfolk Southern railway facilitates the region's transport network alongside the Lake Cumberland Regional Airport. The landscape south of the city is defined by the winding course of Pitman Creek and the headwaters of Lake Cumberland. Diverse topographic features like Thunder Struck Knob and Boneyard Knob rise above the surrounding hollows, illustrating the varied terrain of Pulaski County.

Smaller settlements and rural localities such as Elihu, Alcalde, and Ruth are documented with their associated family and community landmarks. Genealogists will find numerous burial sites recorded, including the Clay Hill Baptist Church Cem and Rock Lick Baptist Church Cem. The map also preserves the locations of local infrastructure like the Garner School and several named valleys such as Waddie Hollow and Cherry Grove Hollow, which characterize the area's rural settlement pattern.
