2016 Map of Kitts Hill

About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates the northern reaches of this Lawrence County landscape, where the ridges and hollows of the Appalachian Plateau are marked by a high density of small family and community cemeteries. The settlement of Kitts Hill sits at a central junction, while the surrounding hills are carved by drainages like Ice Cr and Little Storms Cr. The map reveals a deeply localized social geography, with numerous small burial grounds such as Hackworth Cem, Mays Cem, and Currington Cem scattered across the ridgelines. To the northwest, the recreation-focused terrain around Lake Vesuvius features the Ir Horse Vesuvius Main Loop, reflecting the area's transition into a managed forest. Significant local transport routes, including the Deering Bald Knob Rd, connect the dispersed hamlets of Rock Camp, Andis, and Deering.
