2013 Map of Jones Knob

About this map

Banner Springs and Roslin anchor this section of the Cumberland Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the intricate headwaters of the N Prong Clear Fork and its numerous tributaries. The area's transit history is visible through a network of river crossings including Jones Ford, Ashburn Ford, and Turner Ford, which historically linked the small settlements of Jonesville and the surrounding highlands. This 2013 survey illustrates a rural economy shifting toward private water management, evidenced by several named reservoirs such as the Land of Lakes Catfish Farm Lake and S Thomas Burnett Lake Number Two. From the high point at Jones Knob in the east to the deep indentations of Big Hollow and Cross Hollow, the map provides a clear picture of how topography dictated the placement of homesteads along roads like Virgil Beaty Rd and Ernest Hall Rd.
