About this map

The Levisa Fork and Russell Fork converge in this section of Pike County, creating a valley corridor that has long served as a primary transportation artery for the region. The map reveals a dense string of residential and industrial development following the riverbanks, including Shelbiana and the specialized Shelby Yard. This area illustrates the transition from traditional Appalachian hollows to modern infrastructure, with massive earthworks and reservoirs like Fishtrap Lake altering the landscape.

Genealogists can locate several significant burial grounds, such as the Annie E Young Cem and Rest Haven Cem, situated near Garden Village. The topography is defined by prominent high points like Stratton Knob and Ripley Knob, which separate the various residential clusters at Justiceville, Sutton, and Nelse Junction. Local landmarks such as Chloe Lake and Chloe Gap provide specific geographical anchors within the complex network of mountain ridges.
