THE BLACKEY LAND BRIEF

Land in the
Dissected Appalachian Plateau setting.

Blackey CDP has 0.44 square miles of land in Letcher County. Its Census reference point is in Dissected Appalachian Plateau, within Central Appalachians.

A rugged, deeply cut plateau of sandstone, shale and related rocks supports extensive forest. High hills and low mountains distinguish this Appalachian landscape from smoother neighboring regions.

Blackey and Letcher County

Blackey is associated with Letcher County in the Census boundary data. Start with the parcel’s tax bill to match the property to that jurisdiction, then confirm which government handles its land use.

Letcher County

Blackey by land and water

The Census records 0.01 square miles of water within Blackey, or 2.7% of its total area. It is 2.3 percentage points higher than the 0.3% recorded for Letcher County. This is geographic context; waterfront status and usable land must be checked at the parcel.

For scale, Blackey CDP has 52% of the land area of nearby Vicco city (0.84 square miles). These areas describe boundaries, not comparable property prices.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Blackey land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Separate Blackey’s place name from its government

Blackey is a Census-designated place, a statistical community rather than an incorporated municipality. Confirm the actual planning jurisdiction before treating a Blackey address as city approval. Letcher County is the geographic starting point for the records.

02

Read the Dissected Appalachian Plateau setting

Dissected Appalachian Plateau belongs to Central Appalachians. How much of the tract is on ridge tops or valley sides, and what records identify the approach road and usable areas?

03

Check the route, beyond Vicco

Vicco is 6.8 miles northwest of the Blackey reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?

QUESTIONS GROUNDED IN THIS PLACE

Your Blackey
land questions.

Have a tax bill, an inherited deed, or simply a map pin? Start with what you have.

What should I send for land in Blackey?+

Send the parcel number or legal description, approximate acreage, and a map pin showing the property in Letcher County. Blackey’s 0.44 square miles of land include many different property situations; the exact parcel is what we review.

Is every Blackey property in Dissected Appalachian Plateau?+

No. Dissected Appalachian Plateau is the regional classification at the Census reference point. The Blackey boundary and individual properties can cross landscape transitions. Open the regional source and the topographic map, then locate the actual parcel before applying regional context.

Can I use Vicco as a reference for my land?+

It can help explain the location: its Census point is about 6.8 miles northwest of Blackey’s. That distance is not a driving route, utility connection, or comparable-sale adjustment. Share the actual access road and parcel records so we can review your property on its own facts.

Can I request an offer without being near Blackey?+

Yes. Begin online with the property location and ownership details. Tell Larry G and the team what you know about the land, access, and any co-owners. We review the parcel before deciding whether to propose a purchase; if a sale moves forward, the closing company can explain remote signing arrangements.
