About this map

Paintsville Lake State Wildlife Mgmt Area dominates the southern portion of this landscape, where the rising waters of the lake follow the winding course of Blaine Creek. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of branches and forks, such as Keaton Fork and Mudlick Creek, which support numerous small settlements and scattered homesteads. Industry is deeply integrated into the rural topography, with several extensive areas designated as Gas and Oil Fields or simply Gas Fields. These operations are interspersed among community landmarks like Keaton Fork Ch and Point Pleasant Ch, alongside dozens of unnamed family cemeteries. The presence of a Natural Bridge near Robinson Branch highlights the distinct geological character of this part of the Cumberland Plateau, where traditional hill-country life exists alongside modern resource extraction and state-managed conservation lands.
