About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain dominates this Jackson County landscape, where the high ridges of Crow Mtn overlook a complex network of coves and hollows. The settlement pattern is defined by small communities such as Skyline, Hytop, and Tupelo, connected by a web of county roads that navigate the sharp elevation changes between the plateau and Maynard Cove.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including Maynard Cove Cem, Cornelison Cem, and Sanders Cem. The geography is further detailed by numerous natural features like The Buzzard Roost, Never Hole, and Blowing Caves, alongside the headwaters of Mud Cr. This survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where land ownership and community identity are closely tied to the named points and ridges like Cornelison Point and Clemmons Point.
