About this map

Butcher Hollow sits at the heart of this Appalachian landscape, where the ridges of the Johnson Co and Martin Co line define the steep topography. The Levisa Fork winds along the western edge, providing a natural corridor for the settlements of Whitehouse, Offutt, and Williamsport. The map reveals a dense network of family-named hollows and cemeteries, such as the Old Friendship Cem and Ballard-Butcher Cem, which are vital for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Modern infrastructure meets traditional settlement patterns at the Big Sandy Regional Airport near Poplar Hollow and Horse In Tree Hollow. Upland features like the Spring Knob Lookout Tower Rd and the high point at Booth Hollow overlook a terrain carved by numerous tributaries, including Greasy Cr and Rockhouse Fork. The presence of small hamlets like Meally and Davisport illustrates the enduring residential character of these mountain valleys into the 21st century.
