The North Fork Kentucky River snakes through the heart of Perry County, its path marked by tight meanders like Stidham Bend and the Fishtrap Shoals. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by the narrow river valley and the rail infrastructure that services the coal-bearing hills. Small settlements such as Krypton, Chavies, and Yerkes cluster near the riverbanks, connected by the rail line that bores through the terrain via the Campbell Tunnel, Yerkes Tunnel, and Line Tunnel.
