2022 Map of Broad Bottom

About this map

Levisa Fork dictates the settlement patterns of this central Pike County corridor, where modern infrastructure meets the deep hollows of the Appalachian landscape. The river valley serves as the primary artery for both transit and community life, connecting established areas like Broad Bottom and Mossy Bottom with the growing residential and commercial footprint of Coal Run Village. Higher elevations are defined by names that reflect the region's resource and family history, such as Coal Mine Rd and Brushy Gap. Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous family burial sites, including Mullins Cem, Scalf Cem, and Weddington Cem. The presence of the Pike County Airport/Hatcher Field atop the ridges illustrates how modern engineering has adapted to the steep local topography, while numerous branches and forks like Tollage Creek and Jenny Fork continue to carve the rugged valley floor.
