1979 Map of Vox

About this map

Laurel River Lake dominates this portion of the Daniel Boone National Forest, its meandering fingers reaching into deep drainages like Rogers Creek and Spruce Creek. The landscape is a transition from the protected forest lands in the west to the industrial and transportation corridors of Corbin in the east. Along the margins of the forest, small communities such as Vox and Faber are connected by a network of winding roads and the Louisville and Nashville railroad line. Local social life is anchored by numerous rural institutions, including Steele Chapel, Antioch Ch, and the Corbin Speedway. Evidence of the region's extractive economy is visible in the Strip Mines located near the southern border, while the recreational shift of the late 20th century is marked by the White Oak Campground and several boat ramps serving the reservoir.
