2019 Map of Sturgeon

About this map

Travellers Rest and Sturgeon anchor this 2019 survey of the Eastern Kentucky coalfields, where the drainage of Sturgeon Creek and Little Sturgeon Creek carves a complex network of hollows. The settlement pattern follows these winding watercourses, with small communities like Vincent, Endee, and Mummie situated along the narrow valley floors. Much of the western terrain is protected within the Daniel Boone National Forest, including notable landmarks such as Golden Rock. For local historians and genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family burial grounds, including the John Tyler Brewer Cem, Botner Cem, and Oliver Cem. The intricate road system, from Logan Cemetery Rd to Veneable-School Rd, reflects the enduring rural character of the Owsley, Jackson, and Lee county borderlands.
