About this map

Pine Mountain dominates the central landscape of this survey, serving as a massive topographical barrier between the northern settlements and the winding hollows to the south. Along the border of Whitley Co and Campbell Co, the communities of Jellico, Highcliff, and Lot sit at the foot of Heckler Knob. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several family-named burial grounds, including Chadwell Cem and Perkins Cem, tucked into the hillsides away from the primary road network.

The southern portion of the sheet is defined by deep drainage basins like Hickory Creek and Stinking Creek, where smaller hamlets such as Morley, White Oak, and Habersham follow the narrow valley floors. The presence of Daniel Boone National Forest in the northwest corner and the numerous named gaps, such as Gravely Gap and Rich Mountain Gap, illustrate a region where travel and settlement were strictly dictated by the steep Appalachian terrain and the winding paths of Cane Cr and Clear Fork.
