About this map

The Little Sandy River and its multiple forks define the landscape of eastern Kentucky in this 2010 survey. Small settlements such as Argillite, Hunnewell, and Danleyton appear as scattered communities connected by narrow roads that wind through the narrow valleys and hollows. The presence of the Argillite Lookout Tower on a high ridge overlooking Culp Creek suggests a history of forest management and fire observation in this heavily wooded region.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family-named burial sites, including the Kirby Flats Cemetery and Reeves Cemetery. The topography is marked by distinct hollows such as Wildcat Hollow and Logtown Hollow, while Greenbo Lake provides a significant water feature in the northwest corner. The industrial influence is visible via the Industrial Pkwy corridor, which contrasts with the traditional rural layout of churches and cemeteries found along older routes like Brush Creek Rd.
