About this map

Jamestown and the nearby community of Allardt occupy a high plateau in Fentress County, defined by a complex network of hollows and spurs. To the west, the terrain drops sharply into deep incisions such as Rockcastle Cove, Buffalo Cove, and Poplar Cove, where smaller watercourses like Rockcastle Cr and Poplar Cove Cr begin their descent from the highland. This modern survey shows the integration of older family landmarks and agricultural history with the contemporary landscape, evidenced by numerous burial grounds including the Jamestown City Cem, Livingston Cem, and the George Wood Family Cem near Campbell Hollow.

Regional water management is marked by the Old Jamestown Reservoir on N White Oak Cr, while the northern reaches of the map around Pine Haven and Squirrel Flat show a dense grid of rural roads and residential development. Named topographic features like The Temple and Wright Mtn highlight the distinctive local geology, where flat-topped spurs like Flat Spur and Cold Spur overlook the heavily wooded hollows characteristic of the Cumberland Plateau.
