About this map

Grimsley serves as the primary settlement on this plateau landscape, situated near the intersection of various local transit routes and historical family landholdings. The terrain is deeply incised by the drainage systems of the N Prong Clear Fork and North Prong Clear Fork, creating a series of prominent coves and hollows such as Buffalo Cove, Gwinn Cove, and Carney Hollow. These geological features shaped the settlement patterns of Fentress County, where farms and homesteads often followed the ridges between the numerous creek branches.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through an extensive network of small burial grounds, including Stephens Cem, Tench Cem, and Norris Cem. The transition into the 21st century is marked by the presence of the Jamestown Municipal Airport, which sits atop the level ground north of Smith Br. The map also traces the boundary where Fentress County meets Morgan County, following the course of the S Prong Clear Fork in the southeastern quadrant.
