1948 Map of Pitcher Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

Cumberland Plateau dominates this landscape, where deep coves and hollows cut into the elevated terrain. Local family histories are etched into the topography through a series of namesake burial grounds, including Williams Cem, Keith Spring Cem, and Little Mountain Cem. The settlement pattern follows the lower elevations of the coves, while higher ridges like Pitcher Ridge and Hickory Ridge Point overlook the valleys. Significant landmarks such as the Lookout tower near Rowe Gap Church and the salt-industry reference at Salt Lick point to the area's forest management and early resource history. The presence of the The Sinks and numerous springs like Turnpike Spring and Cold Spring highlight the complex karst hydrology typical of this region's limestone geology.
