About this map

The Paint Rock Valley and the Cumberland Plateau dominate this 2014 landscape, where agricultural flats meet the dramatic rises of Nat Mtn and Cotton Mtn. This map captures a rural network of settlements including Lim Rock, Larkinsville, and Pleasant Groves, linked by local roads like Larkinsville Rd and Al-35. The southern edge of the survey opens into the waters of Guntersville Lake and the Sauty Bottoms, illustrating the transition from highland coves to the Tennessee River valley floodplain.

Local history and genealogy are well-represented by a dense concentration of small family and community burial grounds, such as Harrison Cem, Erwin Cem, and Isbell Cem. Natural landmarks are equally prominent, with numerous karst features and hollows like McAllister Sinks, Stephens Gap, and Pinhook Hollow defining the rugged character of Jackson County. Hydrological features such as North Sauty Creek and Blue Spring provide the lifeblood for these valley communities.
