2011 Map of Falling Spring

About this map

The Jackson River carves a central path through this terrain, dominated by the massive water management infrastructure of the Gathright Dam and the surrounding recreation areas. The map details a landscape where steep ridges like Greavers Ridge and Hoover Ridge overlook complex valley systems and named hollows such as Sugar Hollow and Lemon Hollow. Small settlements and named locales like Falling Spring, Morris Hill, and Carloover are connected by a network of rural routes, including Little Mountain Rd and McGraw Gap Rd. Significant local landmarks include Camp Appalachia and various recreational sites like the Bolar Flat Picnic Area and Launch Ramp. The presence of features such as Jenkins Ford and Natural Well highlights the historical reliance on the river's geography for crossing and resources before modern infrastructure like McAllister Bridge was established.
