2010 Map of Landsaw

About this map

Stillwater Creek and its many winding tributaries define this portion of the Kentucky Cumberland Plateau, where small settlements and family cemeteries are tucked into narrow valleys and hollows. Rural communities like Baptist, Landsaw, and Malaga are connected by a network of winding roads such as Landsaw Rd and Pryor Fork Rd, following the natural drainage of the land. The presence of the Bethany Post Office near Pence and the numerous family burial grounds, including the Centers-Rose Cemetery and Tackett-Wells Cemetery, points to a long-established pattern of generational family homesteads. To the south, Vancleve and Sewell sit along the creek banks, while features like Leslie Hollow and Cedar Ridge illustrate the complex elevation shifts that historically isolated these highland communities.
