2010 Map of Offutt

About this map

Butcher Hollow sits at the heart of this topographic study, where narrow valleys and winding creeks define the settlement patterns of Johnson County. The Levisa Fork cuts through the northwest corner, serving as a primary corridor for small communities like Offutt and Whitehouse. The landscape is densely packed with family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Ballard-Butcher Cemetery and Ward Cemetery, which provide essential clues for genealogical research in this part of the Appalachian plateau. In the higher elevations to the east, the Spring Knob Lookout Tower overlooks a network of hollows such as Buck Horn Hollow and Spice Hollow. The southern portion of the map transition toward the Big Sandy Regional Airport, showing the modernization of transportation alongside older rural crossroads like Odds and Boons Camp.
