About this map

Charlotte Furnace and Boone Furnace highlight the early industrial footprint within this reach of the Kentucky hills. This landscape is defined by the winding course of Tygarts Creek and its many tributaries, including Buffalo Creek and Wolfpen Creek. Small settlements and family clusters are scattered throughout the hollows, with Kehoe and Iron Hill serving as local focal points along the valley floors.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Wolf Post Office in the south to a dense concentration of burial grounds such as Everman Cemetery, Bentley Cemetery, and the Huffman Cemetery. The terrain is marked by distinctive local names like Potato Knob and Slash Hollow, while the presence of the Praise God Airport near Zornes Branch provides a unique modern reference point amidst the traditional rural road network of Iron Hill Rd and Sutton Rd.
