About this map

The Levisa Fork winds through a deeply dissected landscape in this 2022 survey, anchoring a network of small Appalachian settlements and family hollows. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous named burial grounds, including the Hackney Creek Cem, Ramey Cem, and Looney Creek Cem. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and watercourses, with communities like Harman, Big Rock, and Weller situated along the winding paths of the river and its tributaries.

Industrial and recreational connectivity is evidenced by the Coal Canyon Atv Trail System Trl, which snakes across the ridgelines and through gaps such as Winding Gap and Hoot Owl Gap. These modern trails parallel older topographic features like Sugarcamp Hollow and Convict Hollow, illustrating how historic land use and contemporary recreation coexist in the steep terrain of Buchanan and Dickenson counties.
