About this map

Tuscarora Mountain and Scrub Ridge dominate this section of Fulton and Franklin Counties, creating a landscape of steep parallel ridges and deep valleys. The settlement at Big Cove Tannery serves as a central point along Big Cove Creek, which carves through the narrow corridor between the heights of the Buchanan State Forest and the agricultural lands below. To the west, Licking Creek creates a dramatic series of meanders, winding tightly through the valley floor near Sharpe and Thompson.

Cultural life in these rural valleys is anchored by numerous country churches, including St Pauls Ch, Antioch Ch, and Damascus Ch. Local industry and infrastructure are represented by Websters Mill, a Quarry, and an авиа-related Landing Strip near Sowers Hollow. The map also details the boundaries of State Game Lands No 124 and State Game Lands No 53, which cover significant portions of the wooded uplands.
