Dewey Lake dominates the northwest corner of this Floyd County landscape, where the waters of Johns Cr are managed by the Brandy Keg Dike. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain of narrow valleys and winding creek beds, punctuated by small communities like Lancer, Endicott, and Emma. The presence of a Tailings Pond near the Big Sandy Regional Airport points to the industrial legacy of the region, while recreation is represented by the Sandy Valley Girl Scout Camp and Brandy Keg Boat Dock. Genealogists will find several family-named burial grounds throughout the hollows, including Lockhart Cem and Mayo Cem. The intricate network of drainage, from Buffalo Cr to the Thompson Fork, illustrates the complex topography that has long shaped movement and settlement in the Eastern Kentucky coalfield region.
