About this map

Levisa Fork and Johns Creek wind through the hills of eastern Kentucky, defining a landscape shaped by narrow hollows and river bends. The waters of Fishtrap Lake occupy the central valley, surrounding Stump Island and bordering communities such as Woodside and Biggs. This 2010 survey captures the residential patterns of Pike County, where settlements like Phyllis, Nigh, and Mouthcard follow the level ground along the river and its numerous tributaries, including Grapevine Creek and Millers Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of localized data in the distribution of family burial grounds, including Good Cemetery, Rose Cemetery, and Childress Cemetery. The presence of the Phyllis Post Office and Camp Evangel alongside small-scale infrastructure like Little Card Rd and Elswick Fork Rd illustrates the enduring connection between these mountain hamlets and the waterways that have historically provided the primary routes for commerce and travel.
