About this map

The Ohio River flows along the boundary of Kentucky and Ohio, anchoring a landscape where riverbank settlements like Concord and Carrs meet the rising terrain of Lewis Co and Adams Co. This 2016 survey documents the intricate network of hollows and ridges that define the region, from Blue Hollow and McKee Hollow to the high point at Big Brier Knob. The importance of small-scale family and community heritage is evident in the numerous burial grounds documented across the hills, including Nesbitt Cem, Hayslip Cem, and Fairmont Cem.

Transport and water-based geography dominate the map, with named features like Brush Creek Island and Pennyweight Bar highlighting the river's character. Inland, the landscape is carved by countless runs and forks, such as Ohio Brush Creek, Quicks Run, and Martin Fork. Smaller named localities like Squirrel Town, Queens, and Tulip are connected by a web of local routes including Beasley Fork Rd and Quicks Run Rd, providing a detailed look at the rural settlement patterns still present in the early 21st century.
