About this map

The Big Sandy River forms a major geographic corridor through this landscape, serving as the borderland between West Virginia and Kentucky. Along its eastern banks, numerous small settlements and family holdings are documented, including Neal, Cyrus, and Burnaugh. The area is notably dense with family burial sites, such as Runyon Cemetery, Johnston Cemetery, and Newman Cemetery, providing a wealth of information for genealogists tracking local lineages.

Modern infrastructure is represented by the Tri-State Airport in the northern portion of the quadrangle, which sits in contrast to the rural drainages of Twelvepole Creek and Whites Creek. The topography is defined by narrow hollows and ridges like Thacker Ridge, where smaller communities such as Durbin-Burnaugh and Kavanaugh are situated along the winding paths of Mayo Trail Rd and Bridge Branch Rd.
