About this map

The Licking River and Licking Creek carve through this landscape at the intersection of Magoffin, Floyd, Breathitt, and Knott counties. Small, dispersed settlements like Fredville, Arthurmabel, and Waldo are connected by winding roads that follow the tight valleys of Whitley Branch and Bear Branch. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and forks, including the evocatively named Rough and Tough Creek and Stilhouse Hollow Fork.

Social and industrial life in the early 1990s is reflected in the numerous scattered Cem sites, local institutions such as the John Arnett Sch and Salt Lick Ch, and a landscape marked by both a Pipeline and various Mine operations. This map serves as a vital record for genealogists tracing family names in this specific corner of the Cumberland Plateau, where the proximity of the Magoffin and Floyd county line defined local administration and commerce.
