About this map

Vicco and the surrounding coal country of Perry County are depicted here in a landscape defined by narrow valley settlements and high ridgelines. The map illustrates a dense network of mountain communities such as Sassafras, Happy, and Defiance, often separated by prominent terrain features like Dixon Knob and Halls Mtn. These settlements follow the winding paths of local waterways and hollows, including Scuddy Branch Rd and George Hollow.

The area's connectivity is highlighted by the intersection of local roads and water crossings, notably the Dakota Bridge. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Cornettsville and Ulvah sit along the lower elevations, while northern clusters like Anco and Wiscoal represent the persistent mining-town geography of the eastern Kentucky mountains. This document captures the intricate placement of homes and infrastructure within the steep topography of the Cumberland Plateau.
