2013 Map of Richardson

About this map

Lowmansville sits at the junction of Georges Creek and several winding hollows, serving as a primary point of interest in this eastern Kentucky landscape. The topography is defined by an intricate network of waterways including the Levisa Fork, which meanders past settlements like Richardson and Patrick. This 2013 survey captures the rural character of Lawrence County, where small communities are connected by roads like Old US 23 Loop No 1 and Walnut Grove Church Rd. Genealogy researchers may find particular value in the location of the Son Butcher Cem near the southern edge of the sheet, or the various family-named branches and forks such as Lige Hays Br and Stambaugh Br. The distribution of these named features along the creeks suggests a settlement pattern deeply tied to the narrow valley floors and the coal-rich highlands of the Cumberland Plateau.
