About this map

Blaine Creek and its many winding tributaries like Little Blaine Creek and Rich Creek define this rural Kentucky landscape during the early 1970s. The region is characterized by a dense network of hollows and branches, many bearing family names such as Milard Bradley Hollow, Jeff Gilliam Br, and McCracken Hollow. Small communities and gathering places are scattered throughout the hills, including Adams, Busseyville, and the Ledocio PO.

Industrial activity is evident across the terrain, with numerous Oil Wells, Gas Wells, and Strip Mines marking the hillsides. Transport and utility infrastructure is represented by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor and several major pipelines. Local life is centered around institutions like Carters Chapel, Smoky Valley Ch, and the Lower Twin Branch Sch, providing valuable points of interest for those researching Lawrence County genealogy and land use patterns.
