Sandy Hook and the surrounding ridgetops of Elliott County anchor this documentation of the Kentucky highlands as they appeared in 2016. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Little Sandy River and its numerous tributaries, including Wells Creek and Pruetts Fork. Small settlements such as Lytten, Bigstone, and Bascom are connected by a network of ridge-running roads like Stamper Ridge Road and Gray Ridge. This topography created distinct isolated communities, often identified by family-named terrain like Fannin Hill or The Jeff Knob.
