About this map

Catoosa Wildlife Management Area dominates the southern landscape of this survey, where the Fentress, Cumberland, and Morgan county lines converge. The rugged topography of the Cumberland Plateau is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Clear Creek and Shoal Creek, which carve deep hollows like Big Hollow. Along the Tennessee Divide, small rural communities such as Banner Springs, Roslin, and Jonesville are connected by the Alvin C York Hwy and localized road networks.

Local history is preserved in several family and community burial grounds, including Westfelt Cem and Hall Cem. The Jones Knob Lookout Tower stands as a prominent landmark on the high ground overlooking the drainage of Shell Creek and Sulphur Spring. Evidence of early infrastructure appears via the Pipeline crossing the plateau, while the Roslin Sch and Springs Chapel serve as centers for the scattered upland settlements.
