About this map

Hazard and its surrounding mountain communities follow the winding corridor of the N Fork Kentucky River and Carr Fork in this detailed 2013 topographic study. The map documents the residential and industrial footprint of southeastern Kentucky, where settlement patterns are dictated by narrow valley floors and hollows. Densely populated neighborhoods like Woodland Park, Lothair, and Christopher cluster near the river, while smaller named communities such as Diablock, Glomawr, and Viper extend along the secondary drainages and rail lines.

Genealogists and local researchers will find value in the precise location of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including Englewood Cem and Caudill Cem. The terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of branches and forks, such as Gregory Br and Buffalo Cr, which have historically defined the boundaries of rural life. From the residential streets of Happy Hollow to the remote Twin Rocks Camp, this map illustrates the enduring relationship between the region's geography and its community structure.
