1948 Map of Hytop

About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain defines this post-war landscape, where the Alabama-Tennessee state line cuts across high ridges and deep hollows. The settlement of Hytop sits centrally atop the plateau, while the small community of Jericho is found to the north near the Turkey Walls of Jericho Creek. The map reveals a high concentration of family-named landmarks and local burial grounds, including Clark Cem, Culver Cem, and Knight Cem, which provide essential points of reference for genealogical research in this part of Jackson County.
