[40] Hollingsworth postoffice was established on October 15, 1901, by postmaster William Hollansworth on the Right Fork of Island Creek to serve Brooks.

[13] Hollansworth wanted to use the name Brooks but it would have clashed with an existing postoffice in Bullitt County.

[13] It operated to April 1905, and after a short hiatus was reestablished by Elbert Hornsby on October 22, 1907, to run to September 1912.

[13] Botto postoffice was established on January 14, 1928, by postmaster Docia Morgan Asher, whose first choice of name had been May.

[27] Smallwood postoffice was established on August 3, 1876, by postmasters Jack Wages and John Lewis, and closed on February 13, 1879.

[20] The area encompassed by all of these locations and served by the postoffice, includes a Goose Rock consolidated school.

[20] The name according to oral tradition supposedly originates with a goose making its nest on a rock in the middle of the creek.

[43] In 1918, William Sizemore had a mine on a left branch 2 miles (3.2 km) upstream on Upper Bear.

[44] The post office was reestablished, this time as Ice Cliff on November 30, 1929, by postmaster Allie L.
