About this map

Dewey Lake dominates this portion of Floyd County, its winding waters controlled by the Dewey Dam and surrounded by the Dewey Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Along the western shore, Jenny Wiley State Resort Park provides a recreational focal point, while the Levisa Fork cuts a parallel path to the south, bordered by the CSX Transportation railroad. The map records a landscape where industry and community intersect, featuring numerous mines and drill holes alongside established rural settlements.

Local history is preserved in the location of several traditional congregations and burial sites, including The Old Log Ch, Philadelphia Ch, and the Mayo Cem. Smaller communities like Lancer, Goble-Roberts, and Endicott are identified, reflecting the settlement patterns of this coal-producing region. In the northeast corner, the Big Sandy Regional Airport marks a modern transport link near the Johnson and Martin county lines.
