About this map

Rockybranch and the nearby settlement of Griffin anchor the northern landscape of this region, defined by deep hollows and narrow ridges within the Cumberland Plateau. Family history is etched into the terrain through numerous burial grounds, including the Barrier Cemetery, Criswell Cemetery, and Phillips Cemetery. The geography is notably steep, characterized by prominent landmarks like The Pilot, Chimney Rock, and the high point at Watts Mountain.

Bell Farm serves as a southern focal point, where the Bell Farm Horse Camp and Hemlock Grove Picnic Area mark the intersection of recreation and forest management. Drainage patterns are complex, with the Johnson Fork and Burkes Creek cutting through the stone. Notable lookout points such as the Skullbone Lookout Tower and Wolf Ridge Lookover provide vantage points over the heavily dissected ridges of Laurel Ridge and Huckleberry Ridge.
