About this map

Jackson serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, where the street grid of the city seat meets the industrial and agricultural landscape of Jackson County. The area is defined by a series of hollows and ridges, including McCune Ridge and Harper Hollow, which direct the flow of Salt Lick Cr and Sugar Run. Several significant bodies of water, such as Hammertown Lake and Lake Katharine, dot the terrain, while Buckeye Swamp sits to the southwest.

For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with cemeteries, recording local burial sites like Mount Olivet Cem, Pleasant Grove Cem, and Mathers Cem. The outlying settlements of Sharon, Oakland, and Jackson Heights show the suburban and rural distribution of the early 21st century. The map also reveals the historical footprint of the region's transport network, with names like Prices Switch Rd and Clubhouse Rd hinting at past rail and social hubs.
