2019 Map of Canoe

About this map

Middle Fork Kentucky River snakes through the center of this landscape, anchoring small settlements like Canoe and Sebastians Branch. The topographic detail reveals a network of hollows and ridges, such as Onionpen Hollow and Jackson Hollow, where family life and community history are recorded in numerous small burial grounds. Genealogists can find the Elisha Gross Cem, Hounshell Cem, and Herald Cem tucked away near local watercourses. To the south, the North Fork Kentucky River clips the corner of the map near Altro, while the village of Wolf Coal sits along the Wolf Creek. The intricate drainage pattern of Shoulderblade Creek and Bowling Creek illustrates the complex geography of the Breathitt and Perry county line.
