2016 Map of Hager

About this map

Mud River and its numerous forks and branches define the landscape of Lincoln County in this modern topographic record. The community of Hager serves as a central point for the region, where narrow valleys like Oliver Hollow and ridges such as McComas Ridge create a distinct settlement pattern following the winding waterways. The map is particularly rich for genealogical research, documenting numerous family-named burial sites such as Noah Sias Cem, Yeager Cem, and Plumley Cem that are tucked into the hillsides far from the main roads. Small hamlets like Myra, Sias, and Jenks are linked by a network of secondary routes including Adkins Ridge Rd and Garfield Rd, reflecting the enduring rural character of these Appalachian communities. In the northeast corner, Griffithsville sits near the confluence of Middle-Fork Mud River and Billy Cr, marking a key point of local activity.
