2019 Map of Salyersville North

About this map

The Licking River and its complex network of tributaries like State Road Fork and Horsepen Fork define the settlement patterns of this Magoffin County landscape. In the southern portion of the map, Salyersville serves as the primary hub, with residential clusters following the narrow valley floors along Maple St and Falcon Rd. This 2019 survey documents a deeply ingrained family history through its numerous hilltop and hillside cemeteries, such as Tackett Memorial Cem and the Christopher Gullett Cem. Smaller communities like Wheelersburg, Lickburg, and Falcon are interconnected by winding secondary roads that trace the natural contours of the Cumberland Plateau. The distribution of sites like Stringtown and Ever illustrates how topographic constraints have historically concentrated development along watercourses such as Lick Cr and Buffalo Cr.
