2011 Map of Eskdale

About this map

Cabin Creek and Paint Creek define the geography of this coal-country quadrangle, where a dense network of valley settlements follows the winding paths of the region's forks and branches. By the early 21st century, the landscape shows a deep integration of industrial rail and road infrastructure, anchored by the Cane Fork Yards and the primary artery of Cabin Creek Rd. Community life is centered around numerous small towns including Eskdale, Leewood, and Decota, with higher elevations marked by landmarks like the Johnson Knob Lookout Tower. Genealogists will find valuable local history in family-linked locations such as Sight Hill Cemetery, Perry Cemetery, and Johnson Cemetery, while the presence of the Carbon Post Office and Whittaker Post Office highlights the historical significance of these rural coal-camp hubs.
