2019 Map of Millard

About this map

Levisa Fork and Russell Fork converge in this eastern Kentucky landscape, anchoring a series of communities that follow the narrow valley floors. The convergence at Levisa Junction and the nearby settlement of Millard reflect the traditional transportation corridor through the Cumberland Plateau. Steep ridges like Stratton Knob and Town Mtn separate the hollows, where local history is preserved in family and community burial grounds including Annie E Young Cem and Collins Cem. The creation of Fishtrap Lake significantly altered the eastern drainage patterns, while smaller bodies of water like Chloe Lake dot the western hills. This geography demonstrates the typical Appalachian settlement pattern, with residences and infrastructure tightly clustered in names like Garden Village and Shelbiana along the arterial Shelby Creek.
