    1. Finding Cemeteries in Letcher County
    2. Here is a great website to show on a map where quite a few cemeteries in Leteher County are (or for other states and counties). Once you get to the webpage, under "State or Territory", choose "Kentucky". Then choose "Letcher" in the drop-down list for "County Name". Use the drop down list under "Feature Type" to choose "cemetery". Then hit the "Send Query" button and the Letcher County Cemeteries will be listed. There's various ways to look at them. Just click on the cemetery you are interested in. If you then choose the "Topo Zone" selection, it will show the location of the cemetery on a topographic map. Make sure you change the map size to "Large". You can look at the various other map types there to see which best meets your needs. The aerial photography one is interesting, but I find that it is hard to use, and you really have to know the roads and buildings to know what you are looking at, and then move around. Anyway, for those of you who are looking for cemeteries this is a great resource. Here is the website for that link: http://geonames.usgs.gov/pls/gnis/web_query.gnis_web_query_form Have fun hunting!!
