About this map

The settlement of Rexton sits at the western edge of this Lewis County landscape, defined by a complex network of steep drainages and family-named hollows. In the early 21st century, the area remained characterized by its rural infrastructure, where winding routes like State Rd and Buzzard Roost Rd follow the natural contours of the land. The mapping reveals a high density of small family burial grounds, such as Veach Cemetery, Allen Cemetery, and Thomas Cemetery, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Along the central corridor, White Oak Creek and the Leatherwood Branch gather the runoff from numerous named features including Peters Cave Hollow and Gunnel Hollow. The small communities of York, Brushart, and Truitt are interspersed among the ridges, with Zion Ridge providing a prominent elevation. Notable landmarks such as Negro Hill and the branching waters of the Schultz Fork reflect the area's physical geography and historical place-naming conventions.
