2018 Map of Mud Creek

About this map

Skyline and the high elevations of the Cumberland Plateau dominate this 2018 survey of Jackson County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the plateau surface breaks into deep drainage systems like Peacock Hollow and Slipoff Hollow. Small valley settlements such as Maynard Cove and Tupelo are tucked between prominent overlooks like The Buzzard Roost and Cornelison Point. This topography heavily influenced the historical placement of local cemeteries and homesteads, many of which are located along the lower ridges or at the base of gaps such as Moody Gap.
