About this map

Sextons Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Sexton Cr and Pigeon Roost Br, define the drainage patterns of this corner of Owsley County. The terrain is characterized by intricate hollows such as Cope Hollow and Thomas Hollow, separated by prominent elevations like Silvermine Ridge. Small communities and postal stops are scattered throughout the landscape, including Maulden P O, Island City, and Sourwood.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, as evidenced by the dense concentration of burial sites like the Boggs Flat Cemeteries, Reynolds Cem, and Holcomb Cem. The presence of Wilson's Mill on Sturgeon Cr suggests a history of local industry tied to the region's watercourses. This survey illustrates a rural Kentucky settlement pattern where homes and roads like Maulden Owsley Co Rd follow the winding creek beds and narrow ridges.
