2010 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin and the surrounding hollows of Floyd County are documented here during the first decade of the 21st century. The landscape is defined by the tight drainage networks of the Levisa Fork watershed, where settlements like Alphoretta, Warco, and Eastern follow the winding paths of Right Fork Beaver Creek and Wilson Creek. This era shows a dense concentration of family-named landmarks and ancestral burial grounds, including the Northern Allen Cemetery near Goose Creek and the Atkins Cemetery situated along the slopes above Brush Creek. The placement of rural postal stations such as Bob Post Office and Dock Post Office illustrates the persistent, decentralized nature of these mountain communities. The road network, including Big Fork Rd and Wilson Fork Rd, traces the narrow valleys, providing a clear record of the area's development before modern changes.
