1891 Map of Jonesville

About this map

Cumberland Mountain and Pine Mountain dominate this late 19th-century reconnaissance, capturing the tri-state borderlands of Kentucky, Virginia, and Tennessee. This survey represents a period when movement through the Gap region relied on mountain passes like Pennington Gap and river crossings such as Poteet Ford and Dickerson Ford. The map identifies the early footprint of Mt Pleasant, later known as Harlan, alongside long-standing county seats like Jonesville and Sneedville.
