About this map

Goose Rock and the winding course of Goose Cr define the heart of this Clay County landscape. This 2013 survey illustrates the dispersed settlement patterns typical of the region, where communities like Brightshade, Plank, and Botto are tucked between a complex system of hollows and forks. The influence of local geography on civil life is evident in features such as Voting House Hollow and the White Cem, providing important touchstones for genealogical research in this part of Kentucky.

Aviation and topography intersect at the Sky Airport near Garrard, while family names and local history are preserved in the numerous named drainages and landmarks such as Tater Knob and Saltpeter Hollow. The map traces the intricate network of Kentucky Route 80 and Hammons Fork Rd, showing how modern transportation routes navigate the gaps like Dog Gap and Elk Gap to connect these longstanding rural hamlets.
