About this map

Big Lovely Mountain and Hogtown Knob dominate the high ground of this Magoffin County landscape, where deep hollows and narrow branches define the movement of water and people. The small settlements of Tiptop, Evanston, and Duco serve as central points within a complex web of drainage including Big Caney Creek and Coles Fork. The geography is marked by numerous gaps and hollows, such as Buckhorn Gap and Rough Hollow, which have historically dictated the placement of local roads like Allentown Rd.

Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of family-named landmarks and burial sites. The map clearly identifies the John Bailey Cemetery, Benton Mann Cemetery, and Betts Mann Cemetery, providing essential coordinates for local history research. Distinctive terrain features such as Indian Grave and Mullins Gap further illustrate the area's nomenclature, deeply tied to early residents and the land's specific topography.
