Norton Branch and Music anchor this corner of the Commonwealth where Boyd and Carter counties meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and hollows, including Gravel Lick, Foggy Hollow, and Glancy Fork. A legacy of early settlement is visible in the numerous family cemeteries dotting the hillsides, such as Sally Cem, O'Neal Cem, and Cooksey Cem. Of particular interest to industrial historians is the Means Tunnel located near Williams Creek, representing a significant modification of the terrain for transport or resource extraction. The map also traces the path of several named roads like Trace Rd and Norton Branch Rd, which follow the natural contours of the stream valleys through small communities like Star Hill and Denton.
