1916 Map of Cornettsville

About this map

Hazard and the surrounding coal country of Perry County are defined by the winding course of the North Fork Kentucky River and the Lexington and Eastern RR that follows its banks. Surveyed just before the First World War, the landscape is dotted with small rural settlements like Viper, Sassafras, and Cornettsville, connected by a complex web of creek-side trails and a ferry crossing. The density of numbered educational landmarks, such as School No 10 and School No 12, along with named institutions like Middle Fork School, provides a detailed record of early 20th-century social infrastructure in the Appalachian hills. Terrain features such as Nigger Br and Bear Fork illustrate the local nomenclature of the era, while the precise positioning of Dean Sta and the Boundary Line between Perry, Knott, and Letcher counties offers valuable data for genealogical and geographic research.
