2019 Map of Prestonsburg

About this map

Prestonsburg sits at the confluence of several major waterways, anchored by the Levisa Fork and the mouth of Middle Cr Levisa Fork. The town's layout reflects its evolution as a regional hub, with West Prestonsburg and Cliff expanding across the river from the historic core. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where steep hollows like Bear Hollow and Travis Hollow dictate the narrow corridors of settlement. The northern reaches of the map show the industrial and transportation corridor between East Point and Auxier, including the Paintsville-Prestonsburg Combs Field. For those researching family history in Floyd County, the map provides precise locations for several named burial grounds, including the Governors Cem, Music Cem, and the uniquely named Van Burenvaughn Cem. The rural landscape is further defined by scattered hamlets such as Whitaker and Bonanza, which remain connected by a network of winding hollow roads like Hager Paint Branch Rd.
