About this map

Butcher Hollow and the surrounding coal-country settlements of Johnson County characterize this 2013 survey. The landscape is defined by a dense network of branches and forks draining into Greasy Cr and Lick Cr, eventually joining the Levisa Fork near Offutt and Whitehouse. The map provides significant detail for genealogists, documenting family landmarks such as the Ballard Butcher Cem and Williams Cem, alongside curiously named terrain like Horse In Tree Hollow and Store House Hollow.

Upland features include the Spring Knob Lookout Tower, which overlooks the winding ridges of the Cumberland Plateau. Small communities like Boons Camp, Williamsport, and Meally are linked by narrow roads that follow the contours of the hollows, including the historic Old State Hwy 3. The prevalence of hollows like Deadening Hollow and Spicewood Hollow illustrates the deep-cleft topography typical of the region's eastern Kentucky river valley system.
