About this map

Tygarts Creek winds through this section of the Cumberland Plateau, defining the corridor for local settlement and transportation. In this modern survey, the city of Olive Hill serves as a central hub, surrounded by upland communities like Garvin Ridge and Smoky Valley. The map reveals a deeply dissected landscape where family and community history is preserved in numerous hilltop burial grounds, including the Flannery Cem and the Van Hoose Cem near Clark Hill.

Infrastructure like the Olive Hill Reservoir and the bypass routes around the city reflect contemporary water management and travel patterns. To the south, the settlements of Lawton and Limestone sit along Jacobs Fork, while the northern reaches are marked by remote hollows such as Madhouse Hollow and Erwin Hollow. The intricate network of county roads, such as Trough Camp RD, follows the winding ridge lines and creek bottoms typical of this Kentucky terrain.
