2014 Map of Princeton

About this map

Paint Rock River winds through this section of Jackson County, carving a valley floor that supports small communities like Princeton and Hollytree. The terrain is dominated by the dramatic rise of the Cumberland Plateau to the east, where the landscape is etched by numerous hollows and coves, such as Saltpeter Cove and Fowler Cove. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed regarding burial sites, noting several family-named locations including Church Hill Cem, Graham Cem, and Latham Cem situated near the settlement of Skyline. The road network, including Al-65 and Al-146, follows the natural contours of the valley, connecting outlying locales like Swaim and Baileytown. Distinctive geological features like the Winding Stairs and Round Knob provide clear markers for the transition from the river bottom to the high plateau country.
