2019 Map of Argillite

About this map

Argillite and Hunnewell anchor this pocket of Greenup County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Sandy River and its numerous tributaries like Sinking Br and Sandsuck Cr. The area’s complex topography of ridges and hollows, such as Wildcat Hollow and Logtown Hollow, dictated a settlement pattern of small communities connected by creek-side roads and gaps. Notable for its many family and community burial grounds, the sheet includes the Kentucky Veterans Cem Northeast, Reeves Cem, and Hunnewell Cem. The eastern portion of the quadrangle transitions toward Danleyton and Naples near the East Fork Little Sandy River, while distinct local landmarks like Baseball Hill and High Knob rise above the drainage basins. This geography reflects a rural Appalachian economy shaped by the narrow valleys and the intricate network of the Industrial Pkwy.
