About this map

The city of Somerset serves as the focal point for this Pulaski County landscape, where urban development meets the deep, branching fingers of Lake Cumberland. As the county seat, it contains the Pulaski County Court of Justice and Somerset Community College, while the Lake Cumberland Regional Airport sits on the western edge of town near Bourbon. The terrain to the east is defined by a dense network of high points and ridges, including the curiously named Lick Skillet Knob, Thunder Struck Knob, and Buzzard Knob.

Tracing the transport routes south reveals the smaller communities of Elihu, Alcalde, and Burnside situated along State Hwy 1247. The map preserves the locations of numerous family and community landmarks, such as the Rock Lick Baptist Church and Love Cem, alongside geographic features like Antioch Bend and Cabin Hollow. This documentation of the area's contemporary footprint provides a bridge to the past, anchoring local genealogy and history in the physical landmarks of the Cumberland Plateau.
