About this map

Hazard and its northern coalfield communities are captured here along the tight valley corridors of Lott's Creek and Troublesome Creek. This 2019 survey documents the complex geography of Perry County, where settlements like Blue Diamond, Bonnyman, and Hardburly are etched into the steep terrain. The influence of the coal industry is evident in the rail infrastructure of the L and N RR and the winding paths of Hardburly Rd and Lotts Creek Rd.

Genealogists can identify numerous family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Nobel Cockrell Cemetery, Smith Cem, and Ary Cem. The landscape is dominated by high summits such as Crawford Mtn and Peters Peak, while lower-lying areas like Airport Gardens and Walkertown show the modern expansion of the regional hub. From the small hamlet of Dice in the northwest to the border near Dwarf, the map reveals the persistent pattern of ridge-and-valley habitation typical of this Appalachian corridor.
