2010 Map of Sandy Hook

About this map

Sandy Hook and its surrounding rural landscapes are defined by the winding course of the Little Sandy River and a dense network of upland ridges. This 2010 survey illustrates a region where family lineage and local geography are deeply intertwined, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds such as Whitt Cemetery, Click Cemetery, and the Polk Howard Cemetery dotting the hillsides. Settlement patterns follow the creek beds and ridges, with named hamlets like Lytten and Bigstone connected by a web of narrow roads including Fraley Ridge Rd and The Ridge Ruin Rd. The topography is marked by distinct summits like Doctors Knob, which serves as a landmark for the surrounding Doctors Branch and Turkey Branch. In the southern reaches, the North Fork Licking River emerges near the community of Redwine, marking a subtle hydrological divide in the heart of Elliott County.
