KY 768 view takes in mountains 2 counties away 2009-12-20 - Sparksville RD, Adair Co. District 4, Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. This view is from Mark Parrish's yard, elevation 1095 feet, just a half mile out Harvey's Ridge Road from KY 61. In the right foreground is the thin green of Virginia Scrub Pine. To the left and back in the woods is the darker, dense green of Eastern Red Cedar. Looking up on the horizon just to the right of center is a pointed peak which is Burchett Mountain (elevation 1525 feet) in Clinton County. Just behind Burchett Mountain about 2 miles on to the South South East is Albany. Of course the Tennessee - Kentucky State Line is only about 5 or 6 miles beyond. From this vantage point we are looking down Rock Lick Creek across the Jay Wheeler Farm and then the Dearing Fletcher Place where Rock Lick runs into Harrods Fork of Crocus Creek. The line of sight then crosses Chestnut Flat Ridge, Crocus Creek just above Amandaville, Irish and Lawson Bottoms on the Cumberland River, and Hwy. 90 just South of Seventy Six Falls at the head of Indian Creek on Lake Cumberland. Burchett Mountain is flanked to the East on the left by Sewell and Poplar Mountains (elevation near 1800 feet in places). On to the left of Sewell and Poplar Mountains are Taylor and Edwards Mountains (elevation around 1600 and 1700 respectively) just South of Monticello in Wayne County.
