I realize some of these communities may have been covered by Lake Cumberland after 1950, but I would still like information as to where they were situated prior to 1950. > > One modern map shows Long Bottom downstream from the dam, but my family records indicate that the original Long Bottom was evacuated due to the dam construction. > > Another modern map also shows a place called "Rose Crossroad," and I'm wondering if that could have been called "Rowe's Crossroad" at one time. > > I fear that Owensby and Wild Goose are not shown on modern maps because their sites are under water.
