Mayking and its surrounding coal-country settlements define this corner of Letcher County during the early 1990s. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by narrow valleys and industrial extraction, where numerous Mine and Strip Mine sites are cut into the terrain above the North Fork Kentucky River. Community life is anchored by a network of rural churches and cemeteries, including Sandlick Ch, Camp Branch Chapel, and Little Colly Ch. Transportation follows the winding creek beds, with CSX Transportation rails and routes like KY 15 threading through gaps such as Logan Gap and Thornton Gap. Notable local infrastructure like the Whitesburg Municipal Airport and several substations serve the dispersed residential centers of Millstone, Sergent, and Colson. The northern reaches include the border with Knott County, marked by the flow of Rockhouse Creek near the town of Deane.
