2019 Map of Tilford

About this map

Wentz and Tilford sit at the heart of this deeply dissected landscape in the Kentucky coalfields, where the headwaters of Leatherwood Creek and Turkey Creek have carved a dense network of hollows. The map captures the scattered mountain settlements and family landmarks of the early 21st century, marking legacy sites like the Wentz Station Cemetery and Riddle Bradley Cemetery. The boundary between Perry Co and Letcher Co follows the high winding ridges, separating drainages that feed the region's river systems. Transportation is dictated by the terrain, with roads like Little Leatherwood Creek Rd and Turkey Creek Rd tracing the narrow valley floors. To the south, the massive wall of Pine Mountain rises as a dominant geological feature, contrasting with the labyrinthine branches and forks that define the rest of the quadrangle.
