About this map

Louisa Fork winds through the heart of this Floyd County landscape, serving as the primary corridor for development and transport between Auxier and the city of Prestonsburg. The valley floor is tightly packed with residential and industrial features, including the Paintsville-Prestonsburg/Combs Field and several distinct neighborhoods such as West Prestonsburg and Cliff. Local history is preserved in numerous family-named burial grounds like the Governors Cemetery and Van Burenvaughn Cemetery, which are tucked into the rising slopes away from the river.

Away from the central valley, the terrain is defined by a dense network of narrow hollows and branches, such as Stumbo Hollow and Kelse Hollow. Small settlements like Whitaker, Bonanza, and Dotson are situated along these smaller waterways. The map details a transition in rural infrastructure, showing the West Prestonsburg Post Office and Fitzpatrick Post Office alongside various county roads like Abbott Creek Rd and Old State Hwy 114 that connect these dispersed mountain communities.
