2016 Map of Wiborg

About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest dominates this McCreary County landscape, where deep drainages like Dead Man Hollow and Patterson Hollow define the area's geography. The settlement of Beulah Heights sits at the center of the sheet, connected to nearby Wiborg and Flat Rock along the ridge-running routes. Genealogy researchers will find several family and community burial grounds, including Hughes Cem, Piney Grove Cem, and Hickenbottom Cem near the winding waters of Indian Creek. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points such as Taylor Ridge and Big Swag Ridge, which separate the various forks of Eagle Cr and Freeman Fork. This map captures a modern view of a region historically tied to the timber and mining economies of the Cumberland Plateau, evidenced by the numerous named hollows and secondary ridges that provided access to the land's resources.
