2019 Map of Redbush

About this map

Flatgap and Redbush anchor this 2019 survey of the dissected plateau landscape where Lawrence, Johnson, and Morgan Counties converge. The region is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and ridges, including the prominent Martha Ridge in the north and Skaggs Ridge to the east. Historically significant for genealogy and local history, the map traces family-named landmarks and rural infrastructure such as Salyers Cemetery near Flatgap and Jenkins Cemetery in the southwest. The transport network reflects the difficult terrain, with routes like Old Terryville Road and Potoaker Branch Road following the winding paths of waterways like Left Fork Blaine Creek and Upper Laurel Creek. The inclusion of the Head of Mudlick School Road and Paint Cliff Church Road points to the enduring social landmarks of these Appalachian communities.
