About this map

The Levisa Fork serpentines through the center of this landscape, anchoring a series of valley settlements in eastern Kentucky. This area is characterized by tight hollows and ridges, with communities like Broad Bottom, Mossy Bottom, and Coal Run Village following the river's path. Infrastructure and industry are evident through the Pike County Airport-Hatcher Field and the presence of Coal Mine Rd, reflecting the regional reliance on aviation and mining.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Mullins, Scalf, and Blair cemeteries. Smaller settlements and neighborhoods such as Stanley Addition, Boldman, and Betsy Layne are connected by numerous local bridges like the Mossy Bottom Bridge and Boldman Bridge. The map also details the complex drainage system of the hills, from Buffalo Creek to Johns Creek, and identifies specific terrain features such as Brushy Gap and Deskins Hollow.
