About this map

Oneida and Ammie anchor the southern reaches of this landscape, where the winding river corridor creates sharp geographic features like The Narrows. This mid-2010s survey reveals the intricate topography of Clay and Owsley counties, showing how small communities such as Teges and Alger are situated within the deeply dissected plateaus of the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Transport and settlement patterns are dictated by the steep terrain, with locations like Felty Gap and Ivy Point serving as notable landmarks between the hollows. The map documents numerous named drainage features that have likely shaped local family histories for generations, including Pole Cat Hollow, Becky Hollow, and Hoot Owl Hollow. Significant river meanders are also captured, specifically the prominent loops of Grapevine Bend and Bishop Bend, which define the habitable land in the northern portion of the quadrangle.
