There is alot of unique names up in the applachian hollar

You mention Cutshin and it is one word not two even though the history of the town name is one of the early pioneers was crossing the creek and this is how it was named. Beautiful deep in the heart of the mountains town but also a place that time has forgot it just below another town called Greasy Creek.

Generally a "lick" is a mineral deposit were animals go to to get there needed vitamins. Like a "salt lick" I grew up with a creek running across our property in Henderson Co called Lick Creek.

Kinda takes the excitement out of it when you know what it is .. huh? LOL
