About this map

The John Sumach Reservation and the sprawling Little Coon Mountain dominate this 1940s landscape on the border of Jackson County and Franklin County. This era captures the intricate relationship between the highland gaps, such as Looney Gap and Daniel Gap, and the valley floor where commerce centered around local gathering points like Brisco Store and Bell Store. The winding path of the Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railway tracks the water of Crow Creek as it flows toward the edge of the Guntersville Reservoir. Numerous family-named burial grounds, including Round Cove Cem and Jacoway Cem, are scattered through the coves and hollows, providing a dense record of early settlement and genealogy in the Little Coon Valley.
