About this map

Clifton and Clifton Junction anchor this part of Wayne County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Hardin Cr and the complex topography of many named hollows. This area is exceptionally dense with family and community burial grounds, providing a significant resource for genealogical research. Prominent sites include Evans Chapel Cem, Philadelphia Cem, and Friendship Cem, while smaller family-named landmarks like Grigg Cem and Cook Cem dot the hillsides.

The distribution of these cemeteries alongside features like Cave Spring and Alley Spring suggests a long history of small-scale settlement tied to the local water sources and hollows. Further south, Davidson Hill and Dickson Bluff Ridge rise above the drainage of Flat Gap Cr. This modern 2019 survey documents the enduring physical layout of these rural communities, from the larger roads like Toll-Gate Pike to the remote Arnold Hollow Spring.
