The Licking River winds through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the community of Salyersville. This 1992 revision reveals a region defined by narrow valley settlements and numerous family burial grounds, such as Howard Cem, May Cem, and the Goffreed Rice Cem. The drainage patterns of Rockhouse Creek, Brushy Creek, and Cyrus Creek dictate the placement of rural enclaves like Hammond, Lickburg, and Wheelersburg. Industrial activity is evident through a network of Gas Wells and Oil Wells scattered across the ridges, while the northeastern corner is preserved within the Paintsville Lake State Wildlife Management Area. Local landmarks including the Buffalo Ch and the Ramey Mem Pk serve as community focal points amidst the complex topography of the Cumberland Plateau.
