2019 Map of Milo

About this map

Rockcastle Creek winds through this corner of Martin and Lawrence counties, defining a landscape etched with narrow hollows and numerous small tributaries. The settlements of Peach Orchard and Milo serve as focal points in a region dominated by steep terrain, where ridges like Peach Orchard Knob overlook a network of branches and forks including Wolfpen Br and Maynard-Preece Br. The map reveals the deep-rooted local history of this coal-country area, with small communities such as Job and Stidham connected by winding roads like Milo RD. Genealogy researchers will find several family-named landmarks and quiet resting places, including the Hammond Cem near Laurel Cr and the Buffalo Horn Cem situated above the creek of the same name. Education in these hollows is represented by the Castle School, located along Cassell Branch.
