About this map

Honaker and the surrounding river valleys are the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the Clinch River meets the smaller Little River and Duncan Br. The landscape is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide and a series of prominent ridges, including Kents Ridge and Hollow Poplar Ridge, which shape the settlement patterns in the lowlands. The distribution of small communities like Swords Creek, Putnam, and Gardner follows the winding river paths, while the uplands are marked by numerous family-named landmarks and hollows, such as Groundhog Hollow and Wolfpen Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of family cemeteries recorded here. Features such as the Harvey Honaker Cem, Jonathan A Boyd Cem, and Jackson-Starnes Cem are situated throughout the valleys and ridge slopes. The map also traces the local transportation network through Hickory Junction and along S Railroad Ave, providing a contemporary view of this corner of Russell County.
