About this map

The Big Sandy River forms a natural border through this landscape, with the CSX Railroad tracking its winding course through the valley. This 2011 survey documents a corridor of long-established settlements and family cemeteries that define the local geography, including Prichard and Hubbardstown. The distribution of burial grounds such as Shannon Cemetery, Hanley Cemetery, and Lakin Cemetery indicates a deeply rooted genealogical history tied to the surrounding hollows like Belcher Hollow and Puckett Hollow.

Away from the river, the terrain is carved by an intricate network of waterways including Big Hurricane Creek and Whites Creek. These drainages serve as the primary conduits for local roads like Centerville-Prichard Rd and Whites Creek Rd. Landmark structures such as the Brick Church and the Bear Creek Bridge near Buchanan provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of community life in this riverine region.
