About this map

Stricklett and the surrounding drainage basins of Kinniconick Creek define the geography of this Lewis County landscape. The settlement patterns follow the winding creek valleys, with communities like Petersville, Crum, and Upper Indian Creek established at key intersections of water and topography. Numerous family-named hollows, such as McCless Hollow, Bill Brown Hollow, and Henry Short Hollow, indicate a deeply rooted local history and the long-standing significance of family landholdings in the region.

Local genealogy is well-documented through several burial grounds, including McEldowney Cemetery, Buckner Cemetery, and Brown Cemetery Three. The network of backroads, such as Elk Lick Br Rd and Paint Lick Br Rd, provides access to these isolated sites. For those exploring the outdoors, the presence of the Sheltowee Trailhead Parking and the high vantage point at Washman Lookout suggest a landscape used for both monitoring the timberlands and modern recreation.
