About this map

Leatherwood Creek and Line Fork dominate the steep, branching drainages of this Perry County landscape, which by the early 21st century remained a network of hollows and ridges defined by small, dispersed settlements. The community of Wentz sits centrally, linked to Slemp and Daisy by a series of narrow roads following the watercourses. The local burial site at Riddle Bradley Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for those researching family history in the area near Bee Hive Mountain Rd.

Further south and east, the map details the terrain around Delphia and Tilford, where numerous named branches like Barkcamp Branch and Defeated Creek carve through the hills. This document illustrates the intricate transportation geography of the Appalachian coal country, where roads like Whittaker Fork Rd and Ax Handle Branch serve as the primary lifelines for communities isolated by the high ridges.
