2019 Map of Alum Ridge

About this map

Wills Ridge dominates the central topography of this Floyd County landscape, serving as a primary drainage divide for the numerous branches and creeks that feed the Little River. Small rural settlements like Alum Ridge, Carthage, and Duncan are connected by a network of winding roads, including State Rte 636 and Alum Ridge Rd NW. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by small-scale aviation and family history, featuring both Deer Run Airport and Alum Ridge Airport alongside established burial grounds such as Sowers Cem and Mannon Cem. The southern reaches of the map are defined by the W Fork Little River and its tributaries, including Shitrock Cr and Dobbins Cr, which carve through the elevated terrain. Local intersections like Wangle Junction mark the transition between the rolling uplands and the many hollows formed by Laurel Br and Beaver Cr.
