2024 Map of Eureka

About this map

Little Coon Valley and the surrounding high ridges of the Alabama-Tennessee border define this landscape in Jackson County. The terrain is marked by numerous family-named hollows and peaks, including Summers Top and Warren Peak, which overlook a network of small settlements such as Gonce, Pleasant Grove, and Eureka. Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, from the Stevenson Community Cem in the south to the Mount Gilead Cem and Cumberland Cem near the state line. The hydrological pattern is dictated by several significant waterways, primarily Crow Creek and Little Crow Creek, along with local landmarks like Cave Spring and Blue Spring. This modern survey details the persistent rural character of the region, where historical naming conventions for terrain features like Looney Gap and Knight Gap remain integral to the local geography.
