2010 Map of Sitka

About this map

Hood Creek and its many winding tributaries define the settlement patterns of this Johnson County landscape, where small communities are tucked into the narrow valleys. The map reveals a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, such as the Marvin Sparks Cemetery and Wheeler Cemetery, reflecting deep-rooted generational ties to the land. From the northern hamlets of Tarklin and Wilbur down through Davisville and Chandlerville, the terrain is navigated by a network of creekside roads like Franks Creek Rd and Castle Fork Rd. A notable landmark, the Lettered Rocks, stands as a curious geographical feature east of Froginery Branch. The presence of scattered settlements like Sip, Kerz, and Sitka suggests a historical reliance on these waterway corridors for transport and community life before modern infrastructure expanded across the ridges.
