2021 Map of Black Pond

About this map

Lewis Smith Lake dominates the eastern landscape of this Winston County region, where intricate fingers of water reach into the dense woodlands of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. This modern survey reveals a community defined by its proximity to both the reservoir and the forest, with small settlements like Falls City and Black Pond situated near the headwaters of numerous creeks. The topography is exceptionally complex, carved by the Caney Cr system, including its East and West forks, as well as Little Bear Br and Big Bear Br. For local historians and genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family and community markers, showing over a dozen cemeteries such as Avery Cem, Lane Cem, and McClinton Cem. The presence of Hickory Grove Mine Rd near Black Pond hints at the area's resource-based history within the Cumberland Plateau.
