About this map

Lake Jacksonville dominates the central terrain, its winding fingers created by the damming of Gum Creek. Along the western shores, the community of New Hope and several prominent points like Oak Point and Piney Point illustrate the residential and recreational development of the late 20th century. To the east, the city of Jacksonville spreads toward the quadrangle boundary, showing a dense street grid that includes the City Cemetery and Resthaven Cemetery.

Genealogical interest is high across this landscape, which preserves numerous family and community landmarks. Small settlements like Frys Gap, Ironton, and Mountain Heaven are connected by a network of farm-to-market roads and county lanes. The map also records several smaller water features, including Dublin Lake and Lake Acker, while the presence of historic burial grounds like Grimes Cemetery and Earles Chapel provide critical points of reference for local family history.
