About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain dominates this Jackson County landscape, where deep hollows and high points like The Buzzard Roost define the 1940s settlement patterns. The community of Skyline serves as a local hub, featuring the Skyline Sch and Skyline Ch. Genealogical interest is high throughout the quadrangle, which is dotted with family burial grounds such as Sanders Cem, Dolberry Cem, and Proctor Cem.

Transitioning from the highlands to the creek bottoms, the map tracks the path of Mud Creek and the intricate drainage of Chicken Foot Cove. Cultural landmarks including Harmony Church and Holland Chapel are situated near the lower elevations of Maynard Cove and Ivey Bottom. Notable geological features like Blowing Cave and Never Hole punctuate the ridges, while remnants of the past are noted at the Ruins near Clemmons Point.
