About this map

Landsaw and Baptist sit at the northern edge of this Cumberland Plateau landscape, where the Bert T Combs Mountain Pkwy cuts through the high ridges. The map captures a complex network of hollows and forks, with small settlements like Malaga, Lexie, and Paxton distributed along narrow valley floors. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent rural settlement patterns of the region, where roads such as Campton Baptist Rd and Leslie Hollon Rd follow the natural topography of the land.

Further south, the boundary between Wolfe Co and Breathitt Co meanders across the hills near Hollonville and Bethany. Family names are deeply etched into the geography, seen in features like Leslie Hollow and roads such as Edgar Tyra Rd and Patton Branch Rd. The southern portion of the quadrangle follows the drainage toward Wilhurst, Vancleve, and Sewell, showing the isolated nature of these Appalachian communities.
