About this map

Grayson serves as the central hub of this Carter County landscape, situated where the Little Sandy River meets the interstate corridor. The 2019 survey documents a terrain deeply etched by winding valleys and hollows, such as Schoolhouse Hollow, Bourbon Hollow, and Hurricane Hollow. These narrow passages define the settlement patterns of the region, concentrating development along the river and its numerous tributaries.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous upland burial sites, including Womack Graveyard, Cresswell Cem, and Boggs Cem. Small communities like Hitchins, Stinson, and Pactolus remain connected by a dense network of state routes, including KY-7, KY-1, and KY-773. From the heights of Bald Eagle Hill to the banks of Stevens Lake, the map provides a contemporary view of a region defined by its complex topography and long-standing family landmarks.
