About this map

Sandgap and Waneta anchor the northern reaches of this Jackson County survey, situated along the ridge-running routes that define the local geography. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of hollows and creeks, including Congleton Hollow and Garden Hollow, which feed into major drainages like Birch Lick Cr and Horse Lick Cr. These waterways historically dictated the placement of small communities such as Bethel and Hurley.

Outdoor recreation and conservation landmarks are prominent on Carpenter Ridge, specifically the S Tree Lookout Tower and the nearby S Tree Campground. The map also details numerous family-named landmarks and access points such as Williams Hollow Rd and Mullins Hollow Rd, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of this part of Kentucky. Smaller water features like Poplar Lick Br and Mayapple Br further illustrate the intricate topography of the region.
