2014 Map of Mud

About this map

The Mud River and its intricate network of tributaries define the borderlands where Lincoln, Boone, and Logan Counties converge. Small communities like Cameo, Dollie, and Estep are situated within a landscape of numerous named hollows, including Rich Hollow and Boone Block Hollow. This 2014 survey reveals a region deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds such as Smith Cem, Antill Cem, and Stanley Cem. The winding path of Big Ugly Cr and its many forks—such as Huntingcamp Br and Beavercamp Br—showcase the complex drainage patterns of the Allegheny Plateau. Transportation is limited to narrow valley corridors like Connelly Branch Rd and the more modern Us-119, illustrating how the terrain continues to dictate the local infrastructure and settlement patterns.
