2002 Map of Kitts Hill

About this map

The hills of Lawrence County at the start of the millennium are defined by the winding drainages of Storms Creek and Ice Creek, where small settlements like Kitts Hill and Andis remain connected by narrow ridge roads. This portion of the Wayne National Forest is characterized by its deep hollows, such as Hungry Hollow and Justice Hollow, which often hide old family burial grounds. The presence of numerous named cemeteries, including Currington Cem and Leatherwood Cem, alongside rural houses of worship like Oakland Chapel and Bald Knob Ch, provides a dense map of local genealogy and community hubs. The northwestern corner is dominated by the Vesuvius Recreation Area, centered on Lake Vesuvius, showing the intersection of public timberland and regional leisure. Industrial traces remain visible on the landscape through scattered Mines and a Quarry situated near the headwaters of the creeks.
