About this map

Kinniconick Cr meanders through this portion of Lewis County, anchoring a landscape defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges. The small settlements of Stricklett, Crum, and Petersville are situated along the primary valley floors, connected by a network of winding roads like KY 377 and Paint Lick Branch Rd. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as it enters the Daniel Boone National Forest, where features like The Black Stairs and Buck Lick Ridge overlook the surrounding timberland.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous upland burial sites, including McEldowney Cem, Henderson Cem, and Buckner Cem. The map reveals a high density of named watercourses such as Paint Lick Br and Stamm Fork, illustrating how the drainage patterns of the N Fork Triplett Cr and its tributaries historically dictated the placement of homesteads and local transit routes.
