About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest occupies the core of this landscape where Powell, Estill, Wolfe, and Lee counties converge. Small settlements like Zachariah and Standing Rock are interconnected by winding ridge-top roads such as Fincastle Rd and Shumaker Ridge Rd. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows, including Coalbank Hollow, Hog Gap Hollow, and Spring Hollow, which feed into local waterways like Zachariah Fork.

Evidence of the region's human geography is visible in the placement of isolated communities such as Fixer, Zoe, and Leeco, often positioned along these significant topographical divides. Outdoor recreation and conservation are represented by the Sheltowee Trace NRT, which traverses the western ridges. For those researching local lineages, the map identifies specific family-named landmarks such as Big Andy Ridge and Shumaker Ridge, providing a detailed look at the rural Appalachian structure in the early 21st century.
