About this map

Hazard and its northern surroundings are defined by the winding hollows and creek branches characteristic of the eastern Kentucky coalfields. The landscape is a dense network of small communities such as Blue Diamond, Hardburly, and Bonnyman, reflecting the region's industrial and residential clusters. Key landmarks including Peters Peak and Crawford Mtn rise above the valleys, while localized centers like Airport Gardens and Walkertown provide a more concentrated settlement pattern.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the family-named features like Nobel Cockrell Cemetery and the many named drainages such as Still House Hollow and Wolfpen Rd. The map also documents the spiritual and social life of the area through sites like Holiness Hollow and the scattered hamlets of Dice, Ary, and Dwarf. These labels together record the cultural and topographic texture of Perry County in the early 21st century.
