About this map

Abingdon serves as the primary population center in this portion of Knox County, defined by a structured grid of streets including W Monmouth St and S Main St. The surrounding landscape is dominated by a complex network of watercourses that have carved the terrain, such as the winding Cedar Fork and its tributaries, Latimer Cr and Slug Run. This rural drainage system dictates the placement of local infrastructure, where section-line roads often yield to the natural contours of the land.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with several burial sites located outside the main settlement, including Cherry Grove Cem and the Boydston - Dawdy Cem to the south. The small community of Saluda sits at the northern edge of the map, while Wolford's Airport provides a clear landmark for aviation history. The map also captures the precise boundary at the Warren Co Knox Co line, illustrating the intersection of county governance and local geography.
