About this map

Salyersville serves as the focal point of this region in Magoffin County, where the Licking River winds through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows. The valley floor is marked by numerous small settlements and family holdings, including Mason, Sublett, and Royalton. This modern survey illustrates the enduring agricultural and residential patterns of eastern Kentucky, with contemporary infrastructure like the Mountain Pkwy cutting through the northern hills.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named landmarks, particularly the numerous cemeteries such as Gardner Cem, Patrick Cem, and the Ambrose and Susan Arnett Cem. The transition of local transportation is evident where the Dawkins Line Rail Trl follows the path of former rail corridors along the Licking River valley, passing through Swampton toward the southern boundary at Carver.
