About this map

Kinniconick Creek winds through this section of Lewis County, carving a landscape defined by deep drainages and named hollows. Small communities like Harris, Head of Grassy, and Stone Hill are situated among the intricate topography, connected by local routes such as Laurel Creek Rd and Straight Fork Rd. The map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and historical terrain markers, including Pell Hollow, Hetrick Hollow, and Dan Morgan Hollow.

Evidence of historical land use and early education appear in labels such as Schoolhouse Hollow and Oil Well Hollow. Prominent elevations like High Rock, Lost Hill, and Blue Ridge Hill provide natural context for the settlement patterns that followed the creek beds and ridges. The network of small waterways, from Dummit Br to Cherry Camp Cr, illustrates the importance of drainage systems in shaping the development of these rural Kentucky neighborhoods.
