About this map

Deep hollows and high ridges define this borderland where Lewis Co meets Greenup Co. The landscape is dominated by complex drainage systems flowing toward White Oak Cr and Schultz Fork, carving out family-named landmarks like Turkeypen Hollow, Grizzle-Hollow, and Hammerhill Hollow. The settlement pattern follows these natural corridors, with small communities like Rexton, York, and Brushart clustered along narrow valley roads.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds, including Allen Cem, Logan Cem, and Rhoden Cem, which are often the only remaining markers of the early homesteaders in this terrain. The transition from timber and agricultural use to modern infrastructure is evident in the network of county roads like Tick Ridge Rd and Leatherwood Rd that wind through the timbered heights of Zion Ridge.
