About this map

Warnock and Oldtown sit within a landscape defined by the winding paths of Tygarts Creek and the Little Sandy River. This 2019 survey documents a region of Greenup Co and Carter Co marked by deep hollows and narrow ridges, such as Holbrook Ridge and Bays Ridge. The settlement pattern follows the waterways and valley floors, with small communities like Samaria and Hopewell serving as local hubs.

A dense concentration of family and community burial sites, including Warnock Cem Number 1, Bellow Cem, and Hartley Cem, provides significant genealogical data for researchers of the eastern Kentucky hills. Transportation in the area relies on a network of winding roads and tracks like the Michael Tygart Trail and Tunnel Hill Rd, which navigate the complex terrain. The map also records numerous local features such as Anglin Flat and Brown Pond, reflecting the enduring agricultural and rural character of these river valleys.
