About this map

Blackjack and Griffin anchor the rural landscape of Cherokee County in this 2016 survey, a region characterized by a dense network of creek drainages and small family landmarks. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several burial grounds, including Griffin Cem, Knoxville Cem, Sanders Cem, and Fitch Cem, which are scattered throughout the undulating terrain. The area's agricultural character is evidenced by the Harrison Farm Airport situated near the community of Griffin.

The topography is defined by numerous watercourses such as Campground Cr, Bridge Cr, and Hampton Cr, which feed into larger systems like Barrons Lake. Infrastructure consists largely of secondary routes and county roads, including the notable Bell Church Rd and FM 13. A distinct engineering feature, Willis Ditch, cuts across the eastern portion of the map, illustrating local water management alongside natural streams like Hudspeth Cr and Sampson Cr.
