2010 Map of Rockholds

About this map

Louden sits at the southern edge of this quadrangle, where the Cumberland River curves through a landscape defined by narrow hollows and high ridges. The settlement of Perkins is located further north along Browns Creek, serving as a central point for a series of family-named landmarks including Jones Hollow and Berry Hollow. The terrain is characterized by named elevations such as Chestnut Oak Mountain, Bunch Mountain, and Lawson High Top, which rise above the many drainages that feed into Meadow Creek and Watts Creek. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family history data, showing numerous small burial grounds including McNeil Cemetery, Stanfield Cemetery, McFarland Cemetery, and Bays Cemetery. These cemeteries, often positioned near specific gaps like Cedar Gap or Tar Kiln Gap, provide a detailed record of the community's distribution across the Whitley County hillsides.
