About this map

Troublesome Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Buckhorn Creek and Long Fork, form the backbone of this Breathitt County landscape. The settlement of Noble sits at a central junction of these waterways, while smaller community centers are marked by the Rowdy Post Office and Ary Post Office. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the Napier Cemeteries, Hays Cemetery, and Noble Cemeteries, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Upland terrain is defined by numerous hollows like Deadmans Hollow and Smoky Hollow, leading to high points such as Cinder Knob. A notable institutional landmark is the Camp Robinson University of Kentucky Engineering Camp near Haddix Cemetery. The network of local routes, including Clemons Rd and Travelers Rest Rd, follows the narrow valley floors, reflecting a long-standing settlement pattern dictated by the steep local topography.
