2016 Map of Hindman

About this map

Hindman serves as a focal point in this portion of Knott County, situated at the confluence of Troublesome Cr and its various branches. The landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, with settlements like Pippa Passes and Brinkley tucked into the narrow valleys. The presence of Alice Lloyd Coll in the eastern section highlights the area's educational roots, while smaller communities such as Garner, Leburn, and Pine Top are connected by winding roads that follow the natural contours of the land. Genealogists and local historians can find family-named landmarks and historical sites like the Madden Cem near Amburgey. The intricate hydrography, including Irishman Creek and Carr Fork, illustrates the historical reliance on these waterways for both transport and settlement patterns in the Kentucky hills during the early 21st century.
