2010 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg serves as the focal point for this southern Kentucky survey, where the Cumberland River loops past Highland Park and the Highland Cemetery. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley to the complex ridges of Jellico Mountain and Grassy Mountain to the west. Evidence of the region’s timber and mining heritage is visible in the numerous named hollows, such as Coal Bank Hollow and Deadening Hollow, and the string of small settlements that follow the Clear Fork valley. Transport corridors and drainage patterns are deeply intertwined here, with small communities like Savoy, Emlyn, and Mountain Ash established along the rail and road routes that skirt Hog Jowl Mountain. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly intricate, featuring family-named landmarks like Sugar Betty Hollow and Fate Lee Mountain, alongside the remote Ayers settlement near the winding Ross Branch.
