About this map

The Ohio River forms the northern boundary of this Lewis County landscape, where the settlement of Garrison sits near the riverbank at the mouth of Kinniconick Creek. This waterway meanders deeply into the southern hills, passing through Tannery and carving a complex network of hollows and ridges. The map reveals a high concentration of family-oriented historical sites, particularly through its numerous cemeteries such as Brightman Cem, Sullivan Cem, and the Bruce Family Graveyard.

Deeply etched terrain defines the area, with named points like Round Top rising above a series of drainages including McDowell Creek and Spy Run. The road network follows these natural contours, with routes like Little Trace Rd and Smooth Rock Rd providing access to the more isolated hollows like Peach Orchard Hollow and Negro Hollow. This 2016 survey documents a rural Kentucky community where geographic features and genealogical landmarks remain central to the map's identity.
