2013 Map of Blackwater

About this map

The Laurel River winds through this rural landscape, joined by a dense network of tributaries including Blackwater Cr and Robinson Cr. Small settlements and named corners such as Blackwater, Tuttle, and Marydell are connected by a web of local roads and the prominent Hal Rogers Pkwy. The area is notably dense with small family and community burial grounds, which provide significant data for genealogical research. Locations like Merrimac Cem, Pilgrims Rest Cem, and McFadden Cem are scattered across the terrain, often situated near old homesteads or road junctions. Evidence of local infrastructure is found in labels such as Rough Creek School Rd, reflecting the community's historical development and the transition from traditional creek-bottom settlements to modern highway connectivity.
