1992 Map of Carrie

About this map

Troublesome Creek carves a winding path through the heart of this East Kentucky landscape, dictating the placement of historic settlements like Carrie and Emmalena. During the early 1990s, the region's topography remained defined by its narrow hollows and high ridges, including Bearville Ridge and Ash Bee Tree Gap. The map documents a community infrastructure built around local institutions, such as the Lotts Creek Community Sch and numerous small houses of worship including Maggie Mem Ch and New Bethlehem Ch. The economic character of the area is visibly marked by several Strip Mine operations scattered across the higher elevations, while the lower southeast corner highlights the Carr Fork Lake State Wildlife Mgmt Area. This survey is particularly useful for genealogists tracing family names through the many scattered Cem (cemetery) labels and small branches like Youngs Fork and Lottis Creek.
