2022 Map of Mayking
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
The rugged topography of the Cumberland Plateau defines the landscape of the Letcher and Knott County line, where steep ridges are punctuated by crucial passes like Logan Gap and Hall Hill Gap. The narrow valleys of Rockhouse Cr and its tributaries support a dense network of small mountain communities including Colson, Thornton, and Mayking. In the southern reaches of the map, the city of Whitesburg sits along the Sandlick Cr, serving as a focal point for the region's commerce and transportation. The map reveals the intricate human footprint in these hollers, from family burial grounds like the Melvin Adams Cem and Ison Cem to the industrial legacy of the Consol Tipple Rd near Deane. A small portion of the Jefferson National Forest touches the southeastern corner, marking the edge of protected timberlands amidst the active residential and mining corridors.
