2010 Map of Salyersville North

About this map

Salyersville anchors the southern edge of this landscape, where the Licking River and its numerous forks carve through the terrain of Magoffin County. This 2010 survey highlights a deeply entrenched settlement pattern defined by creek-bottom communities like Lickburg, Plutarch, and Minefork. The density of family burial grounds is particularly notable, with the Ham Conley Cemetery, Christopher Gullett Cemetery, and Tackett Memorial Cemetery serving as vital landmarks for genealogists and local historians. The area's water network is intricately detailed, featuring the Rockhouse Creek in the north and the sprawling Big Mine Fork to the east. These waterways, alongside roads like Stingy Fork Rd and Buffalo Creek Rd, illustrate the historical reliance on narrow valleys for both transportation and community development in this part of Kentucky.
