About this map

Whiteside and the nearby Whiteside Post Office anchor the northwestern portion of this landscape, where the terrain is defined by complex drainage and mountain gaps. The geography is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical burial grounds, including the Summit Cemetery and Haswell Cemetery near Hooker. The winding course of Lookout Creek serves as a primary hydrological feature, joined by tributaries such as Squirrel Town Creek and McCollum Branch.

To the south and east, the settlements of Wildwood and West Brow sit among a network of gaps and gulfs, such as Burkhalter Gap and Pump Gulf. The prevalence of named springs—including Aetna Spring, Jones Spring, and Skyuka Spring—suggests a landscape where water sources were critical for local settlement and development. Notable landmarks like Camp Lookout and the Paynes Chapel Cemetery provide points of interest for those tracing the social and genealogical history of the area.
