About this map

Williams Creek carves a central path through this section of eastern Kentucky, defining a landscape marked by narrow hollows and numerous family-named landmarks. The area around the settlements of Coalton and Music is characterized by a dense network of country roads following the terrain of Foggy Hollow and Hogshead Hollow. In this rural corridor, small communities like Star Hill and North Branch appear alongside long-standing local landmarks such as Means Tunnel and the Rush Post Office.

Genealogists and local historians can find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the valleys, including the Sally Cemetery, Ross Cemetery, and Clybur Cemetery. The map documents the persistent identity of small railroad and postal stops, such as Glendora Post Office and Grant, which provided essential services to the scattered residents living along the forks of Bolts Fork and Glancy Fork.
