2023 Map of Naugatuck

About this map

Tug Fork carves a winding path along the border between West Virginia and Kentucky, anchoring a landscape where the valley floor serves as the primary corridor for settlements like Naugatuck and Maher. The topography is defined by narrow ridges and hollows, such as Sheep House Knob and Turkey Hollow, where family heritage is preserved in numerous upland burial sites including the Hanna Cemeteries and Brewer Cem. The influence of industry and transport is evident in the path of US Rte 52 and the legacy of rail infrastructure reflected in N and W Railroad Bed Rd. Toward the east, the communities of Lenore and Parsley Bottom sit near the confluence of several branches of Pigeon Creek, illustrating how the region's geography dictated the placement of schools and homes along the rare flat reaches of the creek banks.
