2022 Map of Lick Creek

About this map

The Levisa Fork cuts a winding path through the complex topography of eastern Kentucky, anchoring a network of narrow hollows and ridge-line communities. Small settlements follow the river's edge and the deeper valleys of its tributaries, including Woodside, Biggs, and Mouthcard. The landscape is characterized by a dense concentration of named hollows like Feds Hollow and Happy Hollow, alongside numerous family-named landmarks that reflect generations of local residency. Higher elevations are marked by features such as Hunt Knob, while the valley floors contain legacy sites including the Good Cem and Hunt Cem. Modern infrastructure, including Fishtrap Lake Rd and Upper Johns Creek Rd, traces the same ancient geographic corridors established by the region's river and creek systems.
