2019 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

Fishtrap Lake and the winding course of the Left Fork Levisa Fork define this region of Pike County, where narrow valleys dictate the pattern of settlement. Smaller communities like Biggs, Lick Creek, and Mouthcard are situated along the river and its numerous tributaries, including Lick Cr and Elkhorn Cr. The landscape is characterized by its complex drainage network, with named points such as Stump Island and Hunt Knob rising above the surrounding hollows. Numerous family and local burial sites, including Good Cem, Hunt Cem, and Childress Cem, are situated on the hillsides and near the residential clusters at Phyllis and Kimper. The road network, including Grapevine Rd and Upper Johns Creek Rd, follows the natural contours of the land, connecting these mountain communities and providing access to the various forks and branches that have supported local life for generations.
