About this map

Wayne National Forest dominates the upper reaches of this Lawrence County landscape, where the terrain is deeply dissected by a dense network of hollows and creeks. Small rural settlements like Kitts Hill and Andis serve as local hubs, connected by winding ridge roads and valley tracks such as Town Hwy 201 S. The map reveals a high concentration of family and community burial grounds, including the Maynard Family Cem and Hackworth Cem, which are often located on elevated points or near church sites like the Community Missionary Baptist Church Cem.

Water plays a central role in the area's geography, with drainages like Ice Creek and Storms Creek carving out the lowlands. The presence of features such as Five Forks and Rock Camp suggests long-standing local landmarks at crossroads and creek junctions. In the south, the village of Deering sits near the confluence of several hollows, including Derifield Hollow, marking a transition toward more settled valley floors near Forestdale.
