2013 Map of Vicco

About this map

Vicco and the surrounding mountain communities of Sassafras and Allock occupy the narrow valley floor where Carr Fork meets Montgomery Creek. This 2013 survey illustrates the dense string of settlements characteristic of the Kentucky coalfields, where homes and infrastructure are concentrated along the winding banks of the North Fork Kentucky River. Genealogists will find numerous family-centric landmarks throughout the terrain, including Cornett Hill Cemetery, Hall Cemetery, and Turner Cemetery. The landscape is further defined by its many hollows and forks, such as Rowdy Hollow, McIntire Hollow, and the Straight Fork. Small hamlets like Happy, Defiance, and Scuddy are connected by a network of local roads that follow the creek beds, providing a clear view of the regional development patterns at the start of the twenty-first century.
