About this map

Belgreen and the industrial activity around Isbell anchor this study of the Franklin County landscape. The eastern edge is defined by the Norfolk Southern rail line and the community of Rockwood, while the western portion is marked by the historical path of the Jackson Military Rd, a significant early thoroughfare through the region. This 2018 survey reveals a topography characterized by numerous hollows and ridge systems, including Mullins Ridge and Head Mill Hollow.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered throughout the terrain, from the Old Belgreen Cem in the northwest to Mount Hebron Cem in the southeast. Notable water features like Rockwood Lake and the various tributaries of Cedar Cr weave through the hills, providing a clear record of the area's drainage patterns and small-scale water resources that historically supported these local settlements.
