“No Waters Flow Into Letcher County”
​

For years we believed that was true. We were cast down to find it is not quite true, but honesty compels us to fess up to you. One of the tiny feeders that flow into larger feeders that flow into brooks and then merge into creeks and finally form the three rivers that originate in Letcher County actually starts across the line in Pike County. 
 
That tiny inflow is probably less than one percent, or perhaps less than one-thousandth or even one ten-thousandth, of the water volume that flows out of this county (I don’t think anyone has ever measured it). You can step across it or spit across it, or whatever your mood moves you toward in measurements, but it’s there and we have to confess to it.
