2016 Map of Prestonsburg

About this map

The Levisa Fork cuts a winding path through the heart of Floyd County, anchoring the commercial and residential centers of Prestonsburg and West Prestonsburg. This 2016 survey illustrates a landscape where narrow valleys and hollows dictate the layout of community infrastructure, from the winding Abbott Creek Rd to the various family and community burial grounds like May Cem and Davidson Cem. The presence of the Big Sandy Community and Technical Coll and the Paintsville-Prestonsburg-Combs Field north of the city highlights the area's role as a regional hub for education and aviation. Smaller settlements such as Auxier and Whitaker are tucked into the drainages of the Levisa Fork, while naming conventions for features like Stumbo Hollow and Kelse Hollow reflect deep-rooted local heritage. This map provides a clear record of the modern transportation network, including State Road Fork and Old State Hwy 114, laid over the complex topography of the Cumberland Plateau.
