2011 Map of Hellier

About this map

The Allegheny Mine and the industrial corridors along Marrowbone Creek characterize this 2011 survey of eastern Kentucky. The landscape is defined by its coal-mining history and the deep hollows of the Cumberland Plateau, where settlements like Hellier, Ashcamp, and Marrowbone follow the winding valley floors. In the northeast corner, the Russell Fork river passes through Draffin, with the Regina Post Office serving as a local hub. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named burial sites, including the Martha Johnson Cemetery near Big Branch and the Ratliff Cemetery overlooking the river. The map also documents numerous smaller hollows such as Graveyard Hollow, Narrow Hollow, and Childers Hollow, reflecting the localized settlement patterns of the region.
