2013 Map of Means

About this map

Jeffersonville and Means anchor this terrain where the Eastern Kentucky coalfields meet the bluegrass region. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Slate Creek and its many tributaries, such as Cooks Br Slate and W Fork Slate Creek. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of local rural infrastructure, from the small settlements of Rebelsville and Lucky Stop to the many family-named cemeteries that speak to the area's deep genealogical roots, including Lovely Cem, Wills Cem, and Gillum Cem. High points like Big Round Mountain and Wildcat Mountain frame the valleys, while localized water features like Sid Calk Lake and Pretty Run break up the ridges. For those tracing historical land use or family sites, the map details numerous hollows and knobs, such as Pottersville Hollow and Kashs Knob, which have likely shaped local movement and settlement for generations.
