2014 Map of Jamestown

About this map

Little River Canyon National Preserve dominates the western portion of this landscape, where the West Fork Little River and East Fork Little River converge to carve through the plateau. This 2014 survey documents the rugged geography of the Lookout Mountain region along the Alabama and Georgia border. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many family-named burial grounds, including Smith Cem, Mosely Cem, and Alexander Cem. Settlements such as Jamestown, Chesterfield, and Broomtown are positioned along the valley floor, specifically within Shinbone Valley and Broomtown Valley. The orientation of the roads and small communities follows the natural contours of Shinbone Ridge, reflecting a settlement pattern strictly dictated by the high-relief terrain of the Cumberland Plateau.
