About this map

Jearoldstown and the surrounding rural communities of Milburton and Pleasant Vale anchor this detailed landscape along the Greene and Washington County border. The map reveals a complex network of ridges and hollows, where family history is etched into the terrain through features like Doty Ridge, Cheroy Hill, and Baskett Ridge. The local religious and social fabric is clearly visible in the distribution of community landmarks, including Union Temple, Liberty Hill Ch, and Doty Chapel.

Water sources define the settlement patterns here, with Lick Creek, Splatter Cr, and numerous springs such as Whitaker Spring and Gourley Spring providing the foundation for the region's agricultural life. Local transportation and small-scale aviation are represented by the Kraschenbern Airport and Roach Farm Airport, illustrating how modern infrastructure integrates with traditional Appalachian topography. For genealogists, the map is a primary resource for locating family burial sites, from the Cumberland Presbyterian Cem to smaller plots like Houston Cem and the Brown Cem.
