About this map

The community of Blaine serves as a central hub in this Lawrence County landscape, where the meandering waters of Blaine Cr and its numerous tributaries like Brushy Cr and Hood Cr have carved out a series of hollows. To the northeast, the expansion of Yatesville Lake reaches into the valleys, transforming the drainage patterns of Muddy Br and Elk Br. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Cherokee Hill and the presence of the Clevinger Knob Lookout Tower near Overda, overlooking a network of narrow passages like The Narrows.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history preserved in family burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Griffith Cem, Curnutte Cem, and Swetnam Cem. Smaller settlements such as Cherokee, Houckville, and Cordell are connected by a winding network of rural routes, including Lick Creek Rd and Webb Hollow-Greenbriar Rd, reflecting a landscape deeply shaped by its creek-fed geography.
