About this map

Beattyville serves as the focal point of this region, where the North Fork Kentucky River and South Fork Kentucky River converge to form the Kentucky River. This junction shaped the settlement patterns of Lee County, supporting communities like Proctor and Saint Helens. The map details a landscape characterized by steep valleys and narrow ridges, such as Maloney Ridge Rd and Butler Ridge Rd, which dictate the winding paths of local transit.

Genealogists can identify numerous family-named landmarks and rural settlements including Maloney, Enoch, and Pebworth. Cultural features like Riverview Cem overlook the river valley, while large portions of the western terrain are protected within the Daniel Boone National Forest. The presence of Old Railroad Grade Rd near Maloney points to the area's former reliance on rail infrastructure for timber or mineral transport through the hollows.
