About this map

Jamestown serves as the central hub of this Fentress County landscape, characterized by its position atop the Cumberland Plateau and the numerous drainages that carve into its flanks. To the south lies the settlement of Allardt, while the surrounding terrain is marked by distinctive features like The Temple and several deep coves, including Buffalo Cove and Rockcastle Cove. The area's resource history is evidenced by the David Crockett Mine south of the city center.

Water management and recreation are central to the local geography, featuring the Wispering Winds Lake and its associated dam to the north, alongside the Old Jamestown Reservoir and its dam to the east. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, from the large Jamestown City Cemetery to smaller family grounds like the Crockett Cemetery, Livingston Cemetery, and Waters Cemetery. The map captures a transition where urban streets give way to rural hollows like Bear Hollow and Campbell Hollow.
