About this map

Banner Springs and the surrounding high country of the Cumberland Plateau are documented here in detail, showing a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and deep drainage basins. The map illustrates the headwaters and winding course of the Obed Wild and Scenic River and Clear Creek, which carve through the plateau at the junction of Fentress, Morgan, and Cumberland counties. Small settlements like Jonesville and Roslin serve as local hubs, connected by a network of rural roads such as Roslin Rd and Old Bart Jones Rd.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, including the Jonesville Community Baptist Church Cem and the Springs Chapel Cem. The terrain is marked by distinctive points and hollows, from the namesake Jones Knob in the east to the long ridge of Long Point above the river fork. Numerous small springs and lakes, such as Boiling Spring and Gene Rogers Lake, dot the tableland, feeding the intricate network of creeks that characterize this portion of Tennessee.
