1973 Map of Jonesburg

About this map

Jonesburg and High Hill anchor the northern landscape of this survey, situated along the Norfolk and Western rail corridor that traverses the divide between Bear Creek and the southern hollows. The area is characterized by a dense network of family-named drainages and ridges, including Donahue Hollow, Greyham Hollow, and Gore Ridge, reflecting long-standing rural settlement patterns. In the south, the Daniel Boone Memorial State Forest encompasses significant terrain near Jordan Hollow and Camp Sandy Hollow. Economic activity of the 1970s is evidenced by several claypits and a quarry, indicating the local importance of mineral extraction alongside traditional timber and agriculture. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved on the landscape, such as Bolton Cem and Coleman Cem, which mark the history of the early township residents.
