About this map

Fayetteville and its eastern surroundings are defined by the convergence of several river branches, creating a landscape of deep valleys and isolated peaks. The White River meets with the Middle Fork White River, W Fork White River, and Mud Cr near the center of the sheet, where Lake Sequoyah dominates the geography between Baldwin and Harris. These waterways provided the fundamental structure for the area's development, evidenced by the string of small settlements like Wyman, Habberton, and Goshen that trace the river bends.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout this corridor, including Saint Joseph Cem on the edge of the city and family-named locations such as Boone Cem, Stokenbury Cem, and Hester Cem. The terrain is punctuated by significant elevations like Pierce Mtn, Robinson Mtn, and Round Mtn, which separate the river valleys and influenced the winding paths of local routes like Oxford Bend Rd and S Wyman Rd.
