About this map

Tygarts Creek winds through the northwest corner of this Carter County landscape, flanked by distinctive natural features such as the Devils Backbone, Hocks Nest, and the geological depression of Box Canyon. This 2019 survey reflects a modern view of the rural settlements of Grahn, Aden, and Gregoryville, where the terrain is heavily defined by a series of narrow hollows including Kinney Camp Hollow and Maddox Hollow.

Transport and transit history are visible through the path of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway near Fultz, while the region's genealogical footprint is preserved in numerous family burial sites like the Everman Cem, Littleton Cem, and Bailey Cem. The network of local roads, such as Carter Caves Rd and Big Sinking Creek Rd, connects these small communities across a complex drainage system fed by Big Sinking Cr and Little Sinking Cr.
