About this map

Whitley City and the neighboring settlements of Marshes Siding and Stearns anchor this landscape, where residential development follows the ridge lines between deeply carved creek valleys. The area is defined by the heavy presence of the Daniel Boone National Forest, with significant terrain features like American Legion Knoll and Indian Knob rising above the surrounding timberlands.

Genealogists can find several family-named burial grounds, including Hollaway Cem, Carter Cem, and the Pine Knot Cem near the junction at Pine Knot. Water is central to the local geography, from the Laurel Cr Reservoir to the winding course of Roaring Paunch Creek. The infrastructure includes the Mc Creary County Airport, illustrating the modern layout of these McCreary County communities as they appeared in the mid-2010s.
