2013 Map of Haddix

About this map

The N Fork Kentucky River winds through this central Breathitt County landscape, where the confluence of numerous branches and creeks shaped a network of small valley communities. Remote settlements like Haddix, Lost Creek, and Watts are linked by winding roads that follow the natural topography of the hollers, such as Orchard Hollow and Broadtree Hollow. The map reveals a dense pattern of family and community history, evidenced by the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including the Teapoint Cemeteries, McIntosh Cemeteries, and the Haddix Cem. This concentration of namesake features like Tumbling Br and Stillhouse Br suggests a long-standing rural economy based on the resources of these Appalachian hills. In the southern reach of the quadrangle, the Wendell H Ford Airport and the village of Engle represent modern development alongside older crossings like Hardshell and Ned.
