2016 Map of Vox

About this map

The rugged landscape of the Daniel Boone National Forest dominates this topographic view, where the winding inlets of Laurel River Lake carve into the hills of Laurel and Whitley counties. The map captures the interface between the protected forest wilderness and the expanding edge of Corbin, showing a network of rural roads that connect small communities such as Keavy, Vox, and Faber. These settlements are linked by historic routes like Laurel Lake Rd and Bacon Creek Rd, reflecting a landscape shaped by both the timber-rich terrain and the development around the reservoir. Local history is anchored by several family and community landmarks, including Chestnut Grove Cem, Corinth Cem, and McFarland Cem, which provide specific points of interest for genealogical research in this part of southeastern Kentucky. The numerous drainages, such as Little Spruce Cr and Whippoorwill Cr, detail the complex hydrology of the Cumberland Plateau foothills.
