Day Trip: turn here onto Jones Ridge Road 2016-04-29 - Cumberland County, KY - Photo By Linda Waggener. Turn here, off Highway 61 between Columbia and Burkesville, to start your day trip. Before you can read the white letters on the green sign designating it Jones Ridge Road you see the little family cemetery halfway up on the side of a hill. Even though big beautiful hills are numerous in Cumberland County, there are no mountains and the cemetery reminds us of Eastern Kentucky where there is little flat land and mountainside cemeteries are necessities. The answer to Mystery Branch Road is "Beech Branch Road," the continuation of Jones Ridge Road which connects with KY 704. Chris Dial, the first person to correctly identify the location of Beech Branch Road suggests an alternate route from KY 61, especially from the north. "Take Smith's Branch Road to Pine Branch Road and then onto Pine Ridge Road. It leads to Jones Ridge Road." At Jones Ridge Road one turns left, or east, on JRR, which, at the creek becomes Beech Branch Road a relative short distance and a relative long time to travel road which goes to KY 704. - LW/EW Read More... | Permalink | Comments?
