About this map

Right Fork Beaver Creek winds through this central Kentucky valley, connecting a series of closely set communities including Wayland, Garrett, and Lackey. The landscape is defined by its winding hollows and narrow creek beds, where residential and industrial development follows the drainage patterns of Jones Fork and Caney Fork. This 2013 survey documents the local transportation and settlement network, showing the transition from regional roads like Old Bosco Rd to more intimate neighborhood lanes such as Lick Skillet Br and Glo Hollow Rd.

Genealogists will find several family-named landmarks including Turner Cem, Collins Cem, and Martin Cem scattered throughout the hills. Historically significant points like Welco Station and Porter Junction remain on the map, alongside smaller settlements such as Glo, Estill, and Dema. The names here reflect a deep local history tied to the land, from the waters of Saltlick Cr in the north to Sly Br in the south.
