2013 Map of Ivyton

About this map

Middle Cr Levisa Fork and the Licking River define the intricate drainage patterns of this eastern Kentucky landscape, where small settlements follow the winding paths of creek valleys. Families and local historians will find an exceptional density of family burying grounds, including the Hackworth Cem, Bob Prater Cem, and Salyers Cem, which anchor the small communities of Brainard and Ivyton. The topography is marked by named hollows and forks such as Coon Hollow and State Road Fork, illustrating the traditional Appalachian settlement pattern where roads like Trojan Powder Rd and Meredith Branch Rd navigate the narrow corridors between steep ridges. These geographic ties between water, road, and family land preserved in locations like Swamp Branch and Galdia offer a detailed look at the local geography in the early twenty-first century.
