About this map

Sandy Hook and the surrounding hollows of Elliott County are defined by a complex network of creeks and ridge-top landmarks in this early 21st-century record. The area is anchored by the Little Sandy River and its multiple forks, which carve the landscape into distinct geographic pockets such as Fraley Flat and Henson Flat. Significant local history is preserved through the mapping of family and community burial grounds, including Watson Cem, Arthur Bays Cem, and Gilliam Cem.

Strategic high points like Town Hill and Peters Hill overlook a series of small, interconnected settlements such as Isonville, Newcombe, and Eldridge. The Peters Hill Look Out Tower stands as a notable landmark east of the Lick Fork, while numerous small branches like Bandy Br and Butcher Br illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that influenced road placement and homesteading throughout these hills.
