About this map

The E Fork Little Sandy River and its myriad tributaries carve a complex landscape of hollows and ridges here in Lawrence County. Small communities like Fallsburg, Stringtown, and Yatesville serve as local hubs along a network of winding roads, many following the creek beds. The map reveals deep-rooted family and local history through its named topography, including Jerry Riffe Hill, Miller Hill, and Grubb Bend.

Genealogists can trace familial presence through landmarks like Patton Memorial Cem and Yatesville Memorial Gardens. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional Appalachian geography, with named hollows such as Grannyham Hollow, Sugar Camp Hollow, and Workman Hollow indicating historic farmstead locations. Key landmarks like Raven Rock and Bradley Gap provide clear orientation in the dissected terrain, while the confluence of Morgans Creek and other streams dictates the placement of crossroads like Five Forks.
