2019 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

Spencer anchors the southern portion of this landscape where the plateau meets the drainage of Cane Creek. The area is defined by its deep coves and elevated knobs, notably Bald Knob and Milksick Mtn, which overlook a network of small agricultural settlements. The transition between White and Van Buren counties is marked by the winding course of the Calfkiller River and the Caney Fork. For those researching local family history, the map provides precise locations for numerous community burial sites, including Bethlehem Cem, Gravel Hill Cem, and the Fraziers Chapel Cem. The concentration of these cemeteries alongside small hamlets like Cummingsville and Sweetgum reflects the enduring rural settlement patterns of the Cumberland Plateau region, sustained by local water sources like the Spencer Water Supply Lake.
