2010 Map of Sandy Hook

About this map

Mining operations and family burial grounds define the landscape of this Giles County region as it appeared in the early 21st century. The northern reaches show signs of industrial activity at the Arrow Lake Mine and Kittrell Mine, while the central hills are marked by the Ward-Gilliam Mine and Gilliam Mine. This map is a significant resource for genealogists, as it preserves the locations of numerous small family cemeteries scattered across the hollows, such as the Bumpass-King Cemetery near Johnson Hill and the Stone Cemetery off Dry Creek Rd. The terrain is characterized by complex drainage patterns, with Scotts Creek and Anderson Creek carving deep hollows like Pickard Hollow and Cantrell Hollow. Further south, the map details the rural infrastructure around Jonestown Rd and the quiet waters of Painter Pond.
