About this map

The mountain settlements of Floyd County are captured in this 2016 survey, showing a landscape defined by narrow hollows and deep creek valleys. In the southeastern portion of the quadrangle, Martin serves as a primary hub near Hite, while smaller communities like Eastern, Northern, and Langley follow the path of the valley floor. The geography here is intensely localized, with countless named branches such as Molly Cabin Br and Buckeye Br feeding into larger systems like the Blue River.

Genealogists will find significant value in the high density of family-named burial grounds located throughout the terrain. From Atkins Cem and Prater Cem near Hippo to the Fitzpatrick Cem and Ratliff Cem further east, these sites document the deep ancestral roots of the local population. Notable landmarks like Collins Rock and the winding course of Jarrell Fork provide a clear spatial record of this Appalachian corridor in the mid-2010s.
