2011 Map of Jellico East

About this map

Clear Fork and its tributaries carve through this borderland region where Tennessee meets Kentucky, shaping a landscape defined by coal extraction and narrow hollows. The presence of several active or identified sites like the Blue Rose Mine, Carl Duncan Mine, and Brooks Graham Mine highlights the area's deep industrial ties. Small settlements such as Red Ash, Highcliff, and Chaska are connected by winding mountain roads like Stinking Creek Rd and Doc Siler Rd, revealing a settlement pattern closely following the creek beds. Cultural history is anchored by numerous family and community burial grounds, including Perkins Cemetery, Bowin Cemetery, and Chadwell Cemetery. Landmarks like the Morley Post Office and Heckler Knob provide fixed points for local genealogy and land-use studies in this mining-centered corridor.
