About this map

Pikeville serves as the central hub of this eastern Kentucky mountain landscape, where the winding Levisa Fork dictates the path of commerce and settlement. The map highlights the town's complex topography and infrastructure, featuring several crossings like the Middle Bridge and Lower Bridge, along with named neighborhoods such as Cline Hollow and Peach Orchard Bottom. Beyond the city limits, the terrain rises sharply toward Duty Knob and Peach Orchard Mountain, with deep hollows like Keyser Hollow and Rich Hollow tucking into the steep slopes.

Rural life is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Peggy Sword Cem and John Mimms Sword Cem. Small communities and transit points like Titan Siding, Mayo Village, and Robinson Creek trace the valley floors. Evidence of earlier social history remains through the inclusion of Cider Poor Farm Ridge and the Poor Farm, while unique geologic markers like Lovers Leap Rock and Indian Rock provide a sense of the local landmark geography in Pike County.
