2013 Map of Milo

About this map

Martin County Lake serves as a central landmark in this deeply carved landscape of eastern Kentucky, where small communities follow the winding paths of the fork and branch network. Small settlements like Milo and Job are positioned along the watercourses, reflecting the traditional valley-based development of the region. Higher elevations are marked by features such as Peach Orchard Knob and the Orchard Lookout Tower, providing vantage points over the surrounding ridges. Local genealogy is preserved in the location of the Buffalo Horn Cem and Hammond Cem, while civic life is anchored by the Castle School and the post office near Castle. The dense network of local roads, such as Walker Fork-Bonithon Branch Rd and Big Laurel Rd, underscores the importance of these thoroughfares in connecting the isolated hollows and residential clusters.
