2010 Map of Jearoldstown

About this map

Ducktown and Jockey anchor this landscape where the Tennessee foothills transition into a series of named ridges and valleys. The map documents a rural agricultural network defined by water sources and landforms, from the Gap of the Knobs in the south to the Graysburg Hills and Allegheny Ridge. Local industrial history is preserved through the locations of Clear Creek Mill and Eagle Mill, indicating a legacy of water-powered milling along Clear Creek and Jockey Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly dense with burial grounds, including the Pleasant Vale Cumberland Presbyterian Cemetery, Providence Cemetery, and several family-named plots like Wiley Cemetery and Houston Cemetery. The naming conventions of hollows, such as Taughn Hollow and Tadpole Hollow, provide a window into the local vernacular and early settlement patterns of Washington County.
