2016 Map of Salyersville North

About this map

Salyersville serves as the focal point for this survey of the Licking River's upper reaches in Magoffin County. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and narrow ridge-top roads, reflecting the traditional Appalachian settlement patterns where communities formed along watercourses and gap crossings. This 2016 data illustrates a network of scattered hamlets like Lickburg, Maggard, and Falcon connected by namesake mountain roads such as Phipps Fork Rd and Buck Lick Fork Rd. Significant for genealogists and local historians, the map documents numerous rural family-named locations and connectors including Russell Cemetery Rd and Vanzel Borders Rd, alongside industrial and agricultural outposts like Minefork and Gifford.
