Scenic Village of Sparksville, Adair Co., KY: Looking way off at Burchett Mountain, Albany 2011-10-26 - From 9562 Burkesville RD, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Billy Joe Fudge writes: That is Burchett Mountain, seen in the distance between the trees, above. Burchett Mountain is about three miles North of downtown Albany, KY in Clinton County. The top of Burchett is about 1530 feet above sea level which about 450 feet higher than where the photographer was were standing in the parking lot of the Sparksville Church of the Nazarene, 9562 Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY. Burchett is flanked on the left by shorter Huddleston Mountain and on the right by still lower Grider Mountain. Grider Mountain is the one which hosts the rock quarry which was at one time a part of the Shamrock Company owned by Adair Countian Ed Williams. The view is looking toward the Southeast across the lower end of Greenbriar Ridge, Crocus Creek, Irish Bottom on Cumberland River below Wolf Creek Dam and across Hwy 90 close to its intersection with 1590 and on to Burchett Mountain. Whose barn and hay these are I do not know. Their house is probably in the Village of Sparksville, though. -BILLY JOE FUDGE, Retired District Forester, Kentucky Division of Forestry Permalink | Comments?
