2024 Map of Flat Rock

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates this portion of the Cumberland Plateau, where the tableland is deeply etched by numerous gulfs and drainage branches. The landscape is defined by its rural community structure, anchored by small settlements like Liberty Hill and Flat Rock. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Flat Rock Cem, Pritchett Cem, and Morris Cem situated along the many county roads that crisscross the plateau. The topography is particularly striking where the plateau edges drop off into Newby Gulf and Bryant Gulf, with the eastern boundary marked by the Jackson and DeKalb County line. Water features such as Hogue Creek and Long Creek navigate the high ground, while more secluded features like Wolf Lake are tucked into the western slopes.
