2022 Map of Gassaway

About this map

Clear Fork Creek and its many tributaries, such as Three Forks Br and Frazier Hollow Br, carve a dense network of ridges and hollows across the DeKalb and Cannon County line. This area is characterized by scattered rural settlements and a significant concentration of family burial grounds and community landmarks. The map documents the Gassaway School and various houses of worship including the Mount Moriah Baptist Church Cem and Snow Hill Methodist Cem. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with named heights like Snows Hill, Round Hill, and Mount Ararat rising above narrow valleys. Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous small cemeteries, such as Givan Cem, Mathis Cem, and Zenith Cripps Cem, which are often located near the historical homesteads and ridges they served.
