2013 Map of Hollyhill

About this map

Hollyhill and Duckrun anchor this section of McCreary County, where the landscape is defined by the winding drainages of Jellico Cr and Indian Cr. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including family-named landmarks like Granny Holt Knob and Fate Lee Mountain. Local genealogy is centered around locations such as Laurel Cem, while the topography reveals a pattern of namesake hollows like Lovitt Hollow, Seago Hollow, and Chitwood Hollow tucked between Ryans Creek Mountain and Peak Mountain. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern road network, including New Liberty Rd and Duckrun Rd, which follow the contours of the high ground above the many creek branches. The intricate hydrography, from N Fork Indian Cr to S Fork Indian Cr, reflects a deeply dissected plateau that has historically shaped settlement patterns in this part of Kentucky.
