1967 Map of Big Cove Tannery

About this map

Big Cove Tannery and Websters Mill serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Fulton County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp, parallel ridges of Scrub Ridge and Tuscarora Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with small communities and family-named landmarks such as The Lockings and Sylvan situated near reliable water sources like Licking Creek and Big Cove Creek. Numerous rural congregations, including St Pauls Ch, Antioch Ch, and Mt Zion Ch, are scattered throughout the townships of Belfast, Ayr, Thompson, and Warren.
