2013 Map of Latham

About this map

Sunfish Creek and its many tributaries, including Chenoweth Fork and Morgan Fork, define the drainage patterns of this Pike County landscape. The settlement of Latham serves as a primary western hub, while smaller communities like Idaho, Elm Grove, and Hatch are scattered along the valley floors and higher elevations. A high concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Barton Cem, Shanks Cem, and the Clayton Number 1 Cem, are found throughout the uplands, offering valuable locations for genealogical research. The terrain is marked by numerous named hollows and ridges, such as Wycoff Hollow and Beaver Ridge. Infrastructure is represented by the Appalachian Hwy and landmarks like the Fire Tower on Green Ridge, which overlooks the winding network of local roads and creek beds.
