About this map

Kinniconick Creek winds through the northern portion of this Kentucky landscape, anchoring a network of narrow hollows and ridge-top features in Lewis and Carter counties. The settlement of Camp Dix serves as a local hub near the creek, while the namesake community of Head of Grassy sits to the south along the Grassy Fork. The terrain is defined by a dense system of family-named landmarks and hollows, such as Dan Morgan Hollow, Psimer Hollow, and Eaton Hollow, reflecting generations of rural land use and local geography.

Evidence of local history and infrastructure is found at Stone Cemetery near Stone Hill and the lookout at Huckleberry Tower. The southern edge of the quadrangle reaches into the vicinity of Haldeman and Harris, where the drainage of Mills Branch and Tar Fork meet. The map reveals the intricate road system connecting these remote pockets, including Nolan Cemetery Rd and Raccoon Br Rd, highlighting the deeply etched nature of this Appalachian plateau.
