2016 Map of Oneida North

About this map

Indian Head Mtn and Puncheoncamp Knob dominate the dissected plateau landscape where the Tennessee-Kentucky state line meets the Big South Fork Cumberland River. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of northern Scott County, where small family-named ridges and hollows like Phillips Ridge and Sheeppen Hollow provide the geographic framework for local genealogy. The settlement of Foster Crossroads sits at a junction of backcountry roads, while the outskirts of Oneida and West Oneida begin to fill the southern reaches of the map. Tracing the historic paths of the Bsfnrra railroad corridor reveals the region's transport legacy. Numerous small burial grounds are dispersed throughout the hills, including Grave Hill Cem, Boyatt Cem, and Litton Cem, marking the deep-rooted presence of family homesteads across this heavily forested boundary region between the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.
