2016 Map of Petersburg

About this map

Petersburg anchors this section of Jackson County, where the landscape is defined by the sharp transition between high elevations like Riegel Ridge and the deeply cut drainages of Dever Valley. The area is remarkably dense with family and community burial grounds, including Crabtree Cem Number 1, Masters Cem, and Antioch Cem, offering a detailed map for genealogical research. The distribution of these sites alongside numerous named hollows, such as Pigeonroost Hollow and Dark Hollow, suggests a long history of dispersed rural settlement tucked into the natural folds of the terrain.
