2022 Map of David

About this map

Licking River and its numerous tributaries, including Quicksand Fork, define the settlement patterns of this central Kentucky landscape. Small rural communities such as Gunlock, Fredville, and Waldo are connected by narrow winding roads like SE Licking River Rd and Buck Branch Rd that follow the natural contours of the valley floors. The map reveals a dense concentration of family-named cemeteries, particularly in the hollows near David. These include the Raleigh Shepherd Senior Cem, Dona Howard Cem, and Vanderpool Cem, providing a detailed record for genealogists tracing ancestral lines through the hollows of Magoffin and Floyd Counties. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and narrow valleys like Colt Hollow, where road networks often terminate at isolated homesteads or burial grounds such as the Albert Shepherd Cem.
