2019 Map of Kentuck

About this map

Statts Mills and Belgrove anchor this landscape along the border of Jackson and Roane counties, where deeply incised hollows and narrow ridges dictate the pattern of human settlement. The territory is defined by a dense network of family and community cemeteries, such as Goshen Church Cem near Kentuck and the remote Aplin Church Cem on Aplin Ridge. These burial sites, often associated with small houses of worship like Siniaville Church, indicate a long-standing genealogical footprint in the Appalachian foothills. Navigation follows the winding paths of Tug Fork and Middle Fork, with small clusters of homes appearing at crossroads like Fletcher and Plum Orchard. The terrain rises toward landmarks like Red Knob and Price Ridge, while numerous named drainages including Pigeonroost Run and Leatherwood Run carve out the hollows that have housed generations of West Virginians.
