2013 Map of Mistletoe

About this map

Mistletoe and the surrounding hollows of Breathitt County are defined by a complex network of creeks and neighborhood clusters. The landscape is marked by unique community pockets such as Couch Town Neighborhood, Rockhouse Neighborhood, and Couch Fork Neighborhood. Transportation and social life follow the winding paths of Lucky Fork, Laurel Fork, and Middle Squabble, where the terrain dictates the settlement pattern. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring nature of local place names, from the colorful Whoopflarea and Toenail Hollow to the high vantage point of Cherry Tree Lookout Tower on Cherry Tree Knob. Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the numerous burial grounds documented here, including Morris Fork Cem, Riley Cem, and the uniquely named Loose Angel Cem.
