About this map

The hills of Carter and Lewis County converge near Wesleyville, forming a landscape defined by steep hollows and winding creek beds. This modern topographic record reveals a persistent pattern of rural settlement along waterways like Smiths Creek and Grassy Creek. Local history is anchored by numerous family burying grounds, including the Sexton Cem near Deep Cut and the Amy McGlone Cem along McGlone Fork Rd, reflecting generations of residence in this corner of Kentucky.

The industry of the past remains visible at Boone Furnace, while the geography of the northern reaches is carved by Kinniconick Creek and its many tributaries such as Sunday Lick. Higher elevations like Staffords Hill overlook a network of secondary roads and trails, such as Kiser Hollow Trl, that navigate the complex terrain. Smaller locales like Rugless, Eby, and Rooney appear as quiet nodes in an area where the ridge-and-hollow topography dictates the placement of every homestead and farmstead.
