About this map

Levisa Fork and the expansive waters of Fishtrap Lake define the geography of this Pike County landscape. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and forks, including Feds Hollow, Rough Hollow, and Sawmill Hollow, where small settlements and family homesteads have long persisted. The map documents numerous mountain communities like Biggs, Phyllis, Mouthcard, and Lick Creek, connected by winding routes such as Fishtrap Lake Rd and Millers Creek Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the documentation of several family-named burial sites and landmarks, such as Hunt Cem, Childress Cem, and Flanary Cem, alongside topographic features like Hunt Knob and Stump Island. The presence of a Mining Rd near Johns Cr reflects the industrial heritage of this Appalachian corridor, where transportation and resource extraction have historically followed the paths carved by the many branches and creeks of the Elkhorn Creek watershed.
