About this map

The community of Ivyton sits at the intersection of local history and modern transition in this eastern Kentucky landscape, where the Dawkins Line Rail Trl now follows the path of former rail corridors through the narrow valleys of Magoffin and Johnson Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain forks and branches, such as Rockhouse Fork and Middle Cr, which dictated the placement of small settlements like Riceville and Gypsy.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its documentation of numerous family-named burial grounds tucked into the hollows, including the Hackworth and Spradling Cem, Sub Howard Cem, and William England Cem. The presence of the E Mountain Pkwy and Trojan Powder Rd highlights the region's 21st-century infrastructure while still preserving the locations of older place-names like Galdia and Brainard.
