About this map

Paintsville serves as the focal point of this Johnson County landscape, situated where the Paint Cr meets the winding Levisa Fork. The town's layout is characterized by established neighborhoods like Happy Hollow and public spaces such as the Paintsville Golf Course. To the south and west, the terrain rises toward significant landmarks including Rocky Knob and Bettys Knob, while the valley floors are dotted with a dense network of residential and commercial developments reaching toward Staffordsville and West Van Lear.

Family history is well-preserved across the quadrangle through dozens of named burial sites. Genealogists can find the Johnson County Memorial Cem and Highland Memorial Park, alongside numerous smaller family plots like the Whippoorwill Cem, Vanhoose Cem, and Meade Cem. The area’s industrial and geographic heritage is further evidenced by names like Cannel Coal Gap and the cluster of settlements at Thealka and Wittensville, reflecting the region's historical reliance on the river and rail corridors.
