About this map

Warnock PO serves as a central anchor in this corner of Greenup County, where the landscape is defined by the winding paths of Tygarts Cr and the Little Sandy River. The map reveals a deeply etched topography of hollows and ridges, many bearing family names that speak to generations of local settlement, such as Darbey Hollow, Meadows Hollow, and Ash Hollow. This complex drainage network is further evidenced by the numerous named branches like Warnock Br and Buffalo Br.

Cultural history is preserved through a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Warnock Cem, Riffit Cem, and Hickory Flat Cem. The northeastern sector transitions into the recreational landscape of Greenbo Lake State Resort Park, surrounding Greenbo Lake. Transportation routes often follow the creek beds and ridges, with labels like Old Hopewell Rd and Rattlesnake Rd tracing the traditional connectivity between the settlements of Oldtown, Samaria, and Hopewell.
