2019 Map of Martin

About this map

Right Fork Beaver Cr and its numerous winding tributaries carve through the heart of Floyd County, shaping a landscape defined by narrow hollows and ridge-top cemeteries. The settlement of Martin stands as a focal point near the confluence of Beaver Creek and Right Fork Beaver Cr, while smaller communities like Eastern, Maytown, and Warco follow the valley floors. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including Pitts Cem, Ratliff Cem, and Atkins Cem, often situated on the high ground overlooking the creek forks. The area's infrastructure is closely tied to the terrain, with routes like Quillen Shepherd Rd and Stephens Branch Rd navigating the tight corridors. This survey provides a clear view of the eastern Kentucky coalfield's modern settlement patterns, where residential clusters like Three Oak Sub-Div sit alongside established locations such as Hippo and Pyramid.
