2011 Map of Maulden

About this map

Sexton Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Little Sexton Creek and Jims Branch, carve through this section of Owsley County, defining the local settlement patterns and transportation routes. The landscape is characterized by narrow hollows and ridges like Silvermine Ridge and Cope Hollow, where small communities and family farmsteads established their roots. Historic infrastructure is evident in the presence of Wilson's Mill and the Maulden P O, alongside the Sexton Creek Post Office. The map serves as a detailed record of local genealogy, documenting dozens of burial sites such as the Boggs Flat Cemeteries, Cradlebow Cemetery, and the Smith Cemetery. Small hamlets like Island City, Chestnutburg, and Maulden are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the natural topography, illustrating the enduring relationship between the community and the Appalachian terrain.
