About this map

The Licking River winds through this section of eastern Kentucky, carving a complex network of hollows and forks near the settlements of Arthurmabel, Gunlock, and Fredville. The map reveals a landscape defined by its narrow valley floors and family-centered history, documented through a high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists and local historians can trace legacy landholdings through numerous sites such as Dona Howard Cem, John B Shepard Cem, and Wireman Cem.

The presence of place names like Sulfur Springs Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow suggests the traditional use of the land's natural resources and local commerce. Transport is largely confined to the winding paths of the stream beds, with routes like Molly Branch Rd and Brushy Fork Rd providing the primary access between isolated ridges and the primary waterway. To the north, Goat Mtn stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the confluence of many small branches.
