2010 Map of Jones Knob

About this map

The plateau landscape of Fentress County is defined by a network of river crossings and family burial grounds in this 2010 topographic record. Numerous river fords, including Ashburn Ford, Turner Ford, Hall Ford, and Jones Ford, highlight a local geography still deeply connected to its natural watercourses. The area is notable for its high density of small cemeteries, such as Springs Chapel Cemetery, Friends Chapel Cemetery, and Wattenbarger Cemetery, which serve as vital landmarks for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of Tennessee. This era shows a mix of traditional land use and private water management, evidenced by features like Gene Rogers Lake and the S Thomas Burnett Lake Number Two. The terrain is marked by distinct depressions and elevations like Cross Hollow, Big Hollow, and the eponymous Jones Knob, providing a clear view of the region's physical character.
