2010 Map of Lancer

About this map

Dewey Lake and its impressive Dewey Dam anchor the northern landscape of this Floyd County region, where the water's reach is defined by the Brandy Keg Dike. To the south, the Levisa Fork winds through a series of narrow valleys, connecting the small communities of Lancer, Emma, and Alvin. This area is characterized by a complex network of hollows and branches, such as Whiskey Hollow and Corn Fork Hollow, which have long shaped local settlement patterns and transportation. Local history and genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Mayo Cemetery and Lockhart Cemetery. Transportation infrastructure is notable for the inclusion of the Big Sandy Regional Airport in the northeast and recreational facilities like the Brandy Keg Boat Dock and Shawnee Campground that highlight the area's role as a regional outdoor destination.
