About this map

Yatesville Lake dominates the northern landscape of this Lawrence County quadrangle, where modern reservoir management meets long-established Appalachian hollows. The settlement of Louisa sits at the northeastern edge, while smaller communities like Busseyville, Evergreen, and Adams are distributed along the narrow valley floors. The complex topography is defined by dozens of named hollows, including Fern Hollow, Robinett Hollow, and Rockhouse Hollow, which reveal the intricate drainage patterns feeding into the Levisa Fork.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial sites, such as the Adkins Cem, Prince Cem, and the Busseyville United Methodist Church Cem. These landmarks, alongside historic points like Ellen and Ledocio, illustrate the deep-rooted family ties to specific drainages like Little Blaine Cr and Levisa Fork. The road network, including the Yatesville Dam Rd and various county routes, follows the winding paths established by the region's sharp ridges and deep valleys.
