2019 Map of Landsaw

About this map

Baptist and Landsaw sit within a landscape defined by the deep dissection of the Cumberland Plateau, where life follows the narrow corridors of creek beds and hollows. The boundary between Wolfe and Breathitt counties winds through these ridges, separating small communities like Hollonville and Bethany from the southern settlements of Vancleve and Sewell. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries, including the Tackett-Wells Cem and Puckett Cem, which are often located on the high shoulders above the watercourses. Transportation is anchored by the Bert T. Combs Mountain Parkway in the north, contrasting with the winding rural routes like Lacy Creek Rd and Pence Branch Rd that serve the interior hollows. Numerous forks and branches, such as Stillwater Cr and Johnson Fork, dictate the placement of homes and small clusters of buildings throughout this Appalachian terrain.
