About this map

Wartburg and the surrounding Morgan County landscape are defined by a complex network of family cemeteries and industrial history as shown in this 2010 survey. The northern reaches of the map feature the Wartburg Blue Gem Mine, a nod to the area's coal mining heritage, while the Brushy Mountain State Honor Farm occupies a significant tract of land to the east. The terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Lone Mountain and Cooke Knob, with numerous hollows and gaps between the ridges.

Genealogists will find this sheet particularly valuable for its density of burial sites. Beyond the primary Wartburg Cemetery, the map identifies several smaller, family-named plots including Armes Chapel, Francis, and two separate locations for Honeycutt Cemetery. Settlements like Liberty and Camp Austin serve as local hubs, connected by a winding road system that follows the natural contours of the Cumberland Plateau, including routes such as Montgomery Rd and Roemers Falls Rd.
