About this map

Paint Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Appalachian landscape, where the boundaries of Morgan, Johnson, and Lawrence counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including the prominent Martha Ridge, which separate numerous small settlements. Local history is centered around quiet junctions like Redbush, Flatgap, and Keaton, where the geography dictated a decentralized pattern of small family farms and community life.

Genealogists and local researchers can identify specific family-named landmarks and burial sites such as Salyers Cem near the junction of State Hwy 489 and State Hwy 1624, as well as Jenkins Cem in the southwest. The intricate drainage of the Left Fork Blaine Cr and its tributaries, such as Hamilton Br and Keaton Fork, illustrates the traditional reliance on these narrow valleys for both transportation and habitation.
