2019 Map of Mistletoe

About this map

Mistletoe and its surrounding hollows form a complex geography of ridges and creeks at the convergence of several Kentucky counties. The terrain is characterized by dozens of small drainages like Right Fork Buffalo Creek, Mill Timber Br, and Guy Camp Br, which have shaped the settlement patterns of the region. Local genealogy is well-represented by family-named landmarks such as Horn Hill Cem, Riley Cem, and Loose Angel Cem. Small communities like Whoopflarea, Doorway, and Dalesburg are scattered throughout this dissected landscape. Notable high points like Cherry Tree Knob and Bargers Knob provide orientation among the densely packed valleys. The presence of Still House Hollow and Bold Head Hollow hints at the traditional use and naming conventions of this pocket of the Cumberland Plateau.
