About this map

Tatum Creek and its many tributaries meander through this landscape in Clinch County, defining a region characterized by small rural settlements and family landmarks. The small community of Midway sits in the northern reaches, while Chauncey and Mud Valley anchor the central and southern portions of the map. This area is notable for its numerous burial grounds, including the Griffis Cemetery and Hard Scramble Cemetery, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogists.

The presence of named land features like Turkey Island and Knight Island amidst the wetlands suggest elevated terrain or distinctive environmental patches within the lowland drainages of Jones Creek and Mill Branch. A complex network of local routes, such as Stalvey Co Rd and Burnt Bridge Rd, connects these scattered homesteads and communities, reflecting a quiet agricultural or timber-based economy at the start of the twenty-first century.
