2016 Map of Elkhorn City

About this map

Elkhorn City serves as a central hub in this Appalachian landscape, situated where the Russell Fork and Elkhorn Creek converge. The terrain is defined by the steep ridges of Cumberland Mountain and Pine Mountain, which create the dramatic gorge known as The Breaks. This 2016 survey illustrates a complex transportation network carved into the hills, including the Pool Point Tunnel, State Line Tunnel, and Towers Tunnel. Local heritage is anchored by scattered mountain settlements like Belcher, Cedarville, and Federal, alongside family cemeteries such as Honey Fork Cem and Mullins Cem. The presence of the Belcher Regional Airport and S Patty Loveless Dr reflects the modern infrastructure supporting this historic coal and timber region along the border of Kentucky and Virginia.
