About this map

The Elliott County Courthouse in Sandy Hook serves as the focal point for this rural Appalachian landscape, where deep valleys and prominent peaks dictate the pattern of human settlement. The drainage of the Little Sandy River and the N Fork Licking River creates a rugged geography where small communities like Lytten, Redwine, and Bigstone are connected by winding roads that follow the contours of the land. High points such as Doctors Knob, Fannin Hill, and The Jeff Knob rise above the complex network of hollows.

Local family history is deeply etched into the topography through numerous burial grounds, including the Stegall Cemetery, Polk Howard Cem, and Milton Ladd Carter Cem. The boundary between Elliott and Morgan counties crosses the southern portion of the map, illustrating how political lines were drawn through the steep terrain. This survey provides a precise look at the 2022 infrastructure, from the State Hwy 556 corridor to the residential clusters at Bell City and Faye.
