2013 Map of Kitts Hill

About this map

Wayne National Forest land dominates the northern hills of this Lawrence County landscape, where small communities like Kitts Hill and Rock Camp are connected by a network of winding township roads. The map reveals a dense distribution of family and community burial grounds, from the Oakland Chapel Cem in the north to the Maddy Cem near the southern edge. These sites, along with the Myrtle Ridge Baptist Cem, suggest a deeply rooted rural society centered around narrow hollows and ridges. Waterways such as Ice Creek and Sugar Creek carve through the terrain, defining the local geography alongside distinctive landforms like Bald Knob and Sand Hill. The presence of several small lakes, including Fair Haven Lake and Gina Lake, provides a contrast to the heavily wooded ridges of Long Hollow and Hungry Hollow, reflecting the area's typical Appalachian topography.
