About this map

Gobey sits at the base of a dense mountain network where the Emory River meets Stillhouse Br. This landscape is defined by its numerous family-named peaks and gaps, including Pleas McCartt Mtn and Bird Mtn, reflecting a long history of local land ownership and lineage. The map reveals a high concentration of small family burial grounds, such as Elizabeth Cem, McCartt Cem, and Macedonia Cem, often positioned on the lower slopes near creek drainages like Greasy Creek and Mill Br.

Transportation through these ridges is limited to winding roads such as Macedonia Rd and Old Gobey Rd, alongside recreational paths like the Cumberland Trl. The sheer density of named topographic features—from Huckleberry Ridge to Bear Bench Ridge—indicates a terrain where specific landmarks were essential for navigation before modern development. The county line between Scott and Morgan counties follows the high ridgelines of Griffith Mtn and Young Mtn, demonstrating how the natural geography dictated early administrative boundaries.
