2011 Map of Fines Creek

About this map

Fines Creek Memorial Baptist Church stands as a central landmark in this mountain community, which is defined by a deep network of family cemeteries and rugged gaps. The settlement of Fines Creek is surrounded by ancestral burial grounds including the Newton Rogers Cemetery, Thad Rogers Cemetery, and Hiram Rogers Cemetery, providing a dense record of the area's genealogical history. The landscape is carved by steep ridges like Hurricane Ridge and Naked Place Mountain, with movement through the terrain historically dictated by numerous mountain passes such as Meadow Fork Gap, Bear Wallow Gap, and Martha Mooney Green Gap. In the southwestern corner, the Pigeon River flows near the New Hepco Bridge, while the interior is drained by a complex system of branches and creeks, including Toms Branch and Turkey Creek, that once supported small valley farmsteads in coves like Jones Cove and Ledford Cove.
