About this map

The Right Fork Holly River snakes through this portion of Webster County, providing a central artery for small settlements such as Diana, Jumbo, and Hodam. The landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, where peaks like Elk Mtn and Cool Spring Knob overlook deep drainages like Barrenshe Hollow. This 2016 survey documents a community structure deeply rooted in local genealogy, evidenced by numerous family and community burial grounds including the Columbus McCourt Cem, Cutlip Cem, and Adam Miller Cem.

Transportation follows the natural contours of the river valleys, with routes like Hacker Valley Rd and Holly River Rd connecting isolated homesteads. Key crossings such as the David Daniel Hamrick Memorial Bridge and Clifton Ford Bridge mark important transit points over the waterways. The distribution of sites like the Holly River Church Cem and the Oddfellows Cem suggests a long-standing social fabric centered around these rugged river bends and mountain gaps.
