2019 Map of Capitol Hill

About this map

Woods Reservoir and the Elk River dominate this modern topographic view of the Coffee and Franklin county line. The landscape is defined by the transition from the rolling waters of the reservoir to the established communities of Estill Springs and Decherd. This area is exceptionally rich in genealogical data, preserving a high density of burial grounds that mark the heritage of family settlements. Notable sites include the Duncans Stagecoach Cem, the Old Grays Mill Cem, and New Brick Church Cem. Along the northern shores, Elder Island and Lye Pond show the complex hydrology of the region, while the Morris Ferry Bridge provides a vital link across the central waters. The map also documents local landmarks like Little Mtn and the community of Capitol Hill, tracing the intersection of mid-twentieth-century water projects with much older agrarian footprints.
