About this map

Hollyhill and Duckrun serve as the primary settlement points in this pocket of McCreary County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Marsh Creek and its many tributaries. The area is heavily marked by local family and geographic names, with prominent heights such as Granny Holt Knob, Peak Mountain, and Liza Mountain rising above numerous hollows including Rube Hollow and Seago Hollow.

A network of local roads, such as Kidd School Rd and Jellico Creek Church Rd, suggests a long-standing rural community structure centered around these natural corridors. Genealogists may find interest in the Laurel Cemetery and the various family-named landmarks like Lovitt Hollow and Meadors Hollow. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Indian Creek and Ryans Creek carving through the terrain, reflecting the traditional Cumberland Plateau topography before modern development altered these remote southern Kentucky hills.
