2022 Map of Creekville

About this map

Red Bird River snakes through the center of this eastern Kentucky landscape, anchoring a network of small valley settlements and family landmarks. The communities of Marcum, Spring Creek, and Roark are connected by winding roads that trace the floor of these steep hollows, while family lineages are marked on the high ground at Holland Cem, Hoskins Cem, and Arnetts Cem. Much of the terrain is defined by its ridge-and-hollow pattern, where high points like Hoskins Knob and Caney Knob overlook the narrow drainages of Big Double Cr and Elisha Cr. This 2022 survey illustrates the contemporary trail systems used to navigate this pocket of Clay County, such as the extensive Redbird Crest Trl and the Gilbert Ck / Elisha Ck Loop Trl. From the southern outpost at Ashers Fork to the border near Queendale, the map provides a precise look at the enduring geographic boundaries of the region.
