About this map

Wartburg serves as the primary focal point of this Morgan County landscape, where the confluence of several mountain branches and creeks shapes the local geography. The area's administrative and agricultural character is evident through the presence of the Brushy Mountain State Honor Farm and the Morgan County Landfill north of the Crooked Fork. These landmarks, alongside smaller communities like Liberty and Grove, reveal a pattern of settlement closely tied to the winding valley floors and the elevations of Lone Mountain and Cooke Knob.

To the south, the terrain becomes more distinct as the Emory River meanders toward Deermont and Camp Austin. For genealogists and local historians, the map details the rural network of the early 21st century, identifying specific crossing points such as Melhorn Ford and naming numerous minor waterways like Muddy Br and Crab Orchard Cr. This survey documents a quiet transition between established townships and the remote ridges of Rough Ridge and Love Mountain.
