No GNIS entry, which is always a bad sign for USA places. Newspapers.com brought up a shooting and a murder happening here, as well as two moonshine raids "on Peterman['s] Hill". Searching in other places mainly brought up mirrors and clickbait. This may simply be an informal name for a collection of houses on the hill; no sign of significant coverage that I could find.

It's a name for a hill that has never been formalized, from what I can see. The correct name of the ridge is "Laurel Ridge", Geographic Names Information System, United States Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. There's no Peterman Hill on any map that I can find. Just one map has a Peterman Marsh Run Road instead of Cannonsburg Road. The river that the road tracks is always Marsh Run, no Peterman, however. There is a Peterman Hill in a 1927 report of a contract awarded to macadamize a road "from top of Peterman Hill to Cannonsburg Crossing", that does not say where this hill is, not even what direction from Cannonsburg it is, or that it is the road discussed here, or that it ever happened.
Nothing in this article is right. It's a hill, not a community. The link from it to the 1890s-named "Cannonsburg-Catlettsburg Turnpike" is unverifiable. Ironically, the Midland Trail through Kentucky is notable, but it is not this road as claimed. The 1952 Historic Kentucky Highways gives that name to U.S. Route 62 in Kentucky, and later sources (such as Winchester Sun columnist's Harry G. Enoch's 2018 Where In The World?, which has a 1926 map showing this and an explanation of the political fight about it in the 1920s that is sourced to doi:10.1353/khs.2015.0031) state that it is actually U.S. Route 60 in Kentucky and connects to Ashland, which this road does not. This isn't even Cannonsburg's own Midland Trail Road. This road is apparently the one authorized in 1930 (by an Act of the Kentucky General Assembly) to go from the Midland Trail to Catlettsburg. It's in Wikipedia at List of Kentucky supplemental roads and rural secondary highways (3000–3499)#KY 3294. The Act makes no mention of a Peterman, either.
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
