1994 Map of Big Cove Tannery

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Big Cove Creek carves a narrow valley through the heart of this landscape, separating the high ridges of Scrub Ridge and Tuscarora Mountain. The settlement pattern reflects the area's early industrial and spiritual life, centered around Websters Mill and the village of Big Cove Tannery. Genealogists will find a high density of country churches and associated cemeteries marking the rural crossroads, including St Pauls Ch, Antioch Ch, and Damascus Ch. Steep topography dominates the eastern half, where Buchanan State Forest and State Game Lands No 124 preserve large tracts of timberland along the Fulton and Franklin County line. The meandering path of Licking Creek to the west creates a sequence of sharp bends and flats, such as Chestnut Flat, which provided the necessary level ground for isolated homesteads and small agricultural clearings like The Lockings.
