About this map

Hazard and its surrounding coal-country communities are defined by the winding course of the North Fork Kentucky River and the steep hollows that carve through this part of Perry County. The landscape is a network of named valleys and forks, including Happy Hollow, Stillhouse Hollow, and Talp Hollow, which reflect the localized geography of the region. Transportation follows the natural drainage, with roads like State HWY 15 BYP and Glomawr-Raccoon Creek Rd connecting historic settlements such as Lothair, Christopher, and Viper.

Family history is anchored here by landmarks like Caudill Cemetery and numerous family-named branches and forks. The map documents the residential and industrial footprint of the early 21st century, showing established neighborhoods like Woodland Park alongside more specialized locations such as Twin Rocks Camp. From the larger hub of Diablock to the smaller outliers of Dow and Daley, the map preserves the specific settlement patterns and hydrography of the Kentucky river valleys.
