About this map

Stacy (Rowdy PO) and Ary PO anchor this mid-century survey of the Cumberland Plateau's deeply etched valleys along the border of Breathitt, Perry, and Knott counties. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Troublesome Creek and its countless tributaries like Clemons Fork and Lewis Creek, where small settlements and family farms clustered. This era captures a traditional Appalachian social infrastructure, with numerous country schools such as Ball Sch and Cockerell Fork Sch, alongside religious and social hubs like Philadelphia Ch and the Homeplace Community Center.
