2016 Map of Hima

About this map

Daniel Boone National Forest dominates the central landscape of this territory, where the borders of Laurel, Clay, and Knox Counties converge. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys and hollows, with communities like Woollum, Cottongim, and Pigeonroost connected by a network of winding local routes such as Disappointment Rd and Jarvis Br Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural character of southeastern Kentucky, where small named places like Hima and Sibert anchor the northern reaches along the hills. Genealogists and local historians will find value in the specific road names that reflect family legacies, including Harris Cemetery Rd E, Bill Jones Rd, and Smith Hollow, which trace the residential history of the region's diverse topography.
