2011 Map of Isbell

About this map

Belgreen and the neighboring community of Rockwood serve as the primary hubs in this part of Franklin County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between creek valleys and upland ridges. The area is exceptionally rich in family burial sites and historical landmarks, ranging from the Old Belgreen Cemetery to the Pounders-Quinn Cemetery. The northern section is dominated by the winding path of Cedar Creek, while Little Bear Creek carves through the southern reaches. Evidence of the local industrial past persists in labels like Pinkney Mine Rd near Isbell. Between these points, numerous hollows such as Pounders Hollow and Spring Hollow sheltered small settlements and family farms, many of which are preserved here through specific road names and land-use patterns documented just after the first decade of the 2000s.
