About this map

The E Fork Little Sandy River carves a winding path through this region of Boyd County, anchoring a landscape defined by narrow valleys and numerous small settlements. The community of Boltsfork sits at a southern crossroads near the junction of Bolts Fork and the main river, serving as a focal point for local transport and commerce. To the north, the village of Mavity occupies a similar riverside position, while Trace and Cloverdale represent established hubs along the western roads.

Genealogists will find this 2013 survey remarkably dense with family burial grounds. Dozens of small sites like Queen Cem, McGlothen Cem, and Bates and Crum Cem are plotted across the hillsides, often near family-named landmarks like McIntier Br or Ellington Bear Cr. The terrain is further marked by significant passes such as Laurel Gap and Davis Gap, which have historically guided the placement of roads like Old Trace Rd and S Big Run Rd.
