About this map

The South Fork Kentucky River snakes through this Clay County landscape, creating dramatic bends and narrow passages like The Narrows. This mountainous region is defined by a dense network of hollows and gaps, such as Pole Cat Hollow, Becky Hollow, and Felty Gap, where small communities like Felty and Trixie are situated along winding roads. The map reveals a deeply rooted local history through its numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Sizemore Cemetery, King Cemetery, and Wilson Cemetery.

To the south, the settlement of Oneida sits at the confluence of Goose Creek and the South Fork Kentucky River. This area is punctuated by the Oneida Lookout Tower, which provides a vantage point over the convergence of significant waterways like the Red Bird River and Bullskin Creek. The presence of the Shephard Neighborhood and diverse creek branches like Sexton Creek and Upper Teges Creek illustrates a landscape where settlement patterns have long been dictated by the narrow valley floors and water access.
