About this map

Nettie serves as a central hub in this part of Nicholas County, where the Nettie Post Office and Olive Branch Cemetery sit at the intersection of several local routes. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Hominy Creek and its many tributaries, including Brushy Meadow Creek and Roaring Creek. This 2011 survey captures the rural character of the region, where small settlements like Leivasy, Tolbert, and Odell Town are dispersed among prominent high points such as Beech Knob and Hurricane Ridge.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous burial sites, including the Penile Cemetery near Hominy Falls and the Downtain Chapel Cemetery further north. Traces of the area's transportation history are evident in the Old Railroad Grade Rd, which follows the contours of the terrain toward White Buck Knob. The map illustrates a community shaped by its topography, with ridges like Grassy Ridge and divides like Clements Divide dictating the placement of roads and homesteads.
