2013 Map of Lenox

About this map

The Licking River winds through the southern reaches of this Morgan County landscape, carving a deep bend near the settlement of Cottle. This region is defined by a network of narrow hollows and creeks, where small communities like Lenox, Florress, and Elamton took root along the valley floors. Higher elevations are marked by distinct peaks such as Limekiln Knob and Granddaddy Knob, while Bolin Ridge separates the drainage of War Cr from the Lacy Cr system. Local history is etched into the terrain through numerous family cemeteries, including Adkins Cem, Patton Cem, and John Williams Cem. Transportation and utility infrastructure are represented by the West Liberty Lookout Tower and West Liberty Airport in the southwest, showing the intersection of traditional Appalachian settlement patterns with modern regional needs. The map meticulously records the complex web of rural routes like Cow Branch Rd and Muddy Branch Rd that connected these disparate valley homesteads.
