About this map

The North Fork Kentucky River snakes through this portion of Perry County, shaping a landscape defined by deep hollows and the coal-related settlements that grew within them. The city of Hazard serves as the regional hub, accompanied by established neighborhoods and industrial sites like Woodland Park, Lothair, and Glomawr. Transportation is anchored by the L & N RR, which follows the river's path, connecting the various mining and residential communities including Diablock and Christopher.

Beyond the urban center, the map documents numerous rural landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as Englewood Cem and Caudill Cem. Named hollows like Happy Hollow, Talp Hollow, and Stillhouse Hollow provide specific geographic context for family homesites. Local education and governance are represented by the Hazard Community and Technical College and the Perry County Hall of Justice, while outlying settlements like Viper, Jeff, and Fourseam illustrate the dense network of development along the creeks and forks of the Cumberland Plateau.
