2013 Map of Belfry

About this map

Canada Knob and its attendant Canada Knob Lookout Tower dominate the western ridgeline of this Pike County corridor, overseeing a landscape defined by steep hollows and narrow valley settlements. The communities of Belfry, Sharondale, and Stone are strung along the eastern waterways, where the presence of N Railroad St in Huddy indicates the vital transportation corridors that historically supported local industry. Genealogists will find numerous small family burial grounds throughout the terrain, from Deskins Family Cem in the south to the Smith Cem near Sidney. These sites, alongside the more modern Mtn View Memory Gardens, provide a clear record of local family history in the area. The map illustrates how residential development follows the winding paths of Pond Creek and Pinson Fork, reaching into secluded areas like Blackburn Hollow and Homemade Hollow.
