About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest encompasses a significant portion of this landscape at the intersection of Rowan, Morgan, and Elliott counties. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of ridges and hollows, such as Crix Ridge and Black Cave Hollow, which dictate the placement of small, creek-side settlements like Craney and Blairs Mills. The presence of numerous family burial grounds, including the Kidd Family Cem, Crisp Farm Cem, and Lambert Cem, indicates a deeply rooted genealogical history tied to specific land holdings in this part of Kentucky.

Transportation through these valleys follows the winding paths of the N Fork Licking River and its many tributaries. Isolated points of interest like the Winding Stairs near Leisure and Adkins Curve near Wrigley reflect the local character of the road network. The map preserves the locations of early 21st-century communities such as Blaze and Wyett, providing a detailed record of the rural habitation patterns established along the hollows and mountain spurs.
