2019 Map of Harold

About this map

Levisa Fork winds through the heart of this Floyd County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for a string of Appalachian communities. In the late 2010s, this area reflects a dense pattern of valley-floor settlement, where towns like Harold and Betsy Layne are joined by many smaller named locales such as Banner, Ivel, and Tram. The winding path of Beaver Creek meets the main river at Beaver Junction, a point historically significant for regional transit and industrial connectivity. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, with settlements like Honaker and the uniquely named Blue Moon located along the narrow hollows. The presence of the Davidson Memorial Gardens Cem and numerous named branches—such as Arkansas Cr and Prater Cr—provides a high level of detail for local historians tracing family lands and the geographic evolution of the Big Sandy River basin.
