About this map

The Licking River winds through the hills of Magoffin County, anchoring a landscape defined by isolated settlements and a dense concentration of family burial grounds. Central to the map is Arthurmabel, situated along the river's bend, while Gunlock and Waldo sit along the winding creek valleys to the south and west. This area is characterized by its numerous small hollows, such as Lovely Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, each tied to the regional watershed of the river and its many forks.

Genealogical interest is particularly high on this sheet due to the sheer number of named family cemeteries. Researchers can locate the John B Shepard Cemetery, Raleigh Shepherd Senior Cemetery, Dona Howard Cemetery, and the Vanderpool Cemetery among many others. Landmark navigation is aided by features like the White Bridge near the confluence of Molly Branch, providing a clear record of local infrastructure and land ownership patterns in the early 21st century.
