About this map

Jonestown and Sandy Hook anchor this landscape where Maury, Lawrence, and Giles counties meet. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Pickard Hollow and Nubbin Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Dry Creek RD and Elk Ridge RD. This geography has fostered several small, distinct communities including Enterprise and Screamer, each situated within the complex drainage basins of Big Bigby Cr and Sugar Cr.

Family history is deeply embedded in the land, evidenced by numerous burial grounds like Blowing Spring Cem and Bumpass-King Cem. The presence of Schoolhouse Hollow suggests the former locations of early local education centers. Significant water features such as Arrow Lake and Painter Pond provide landmarks for navigating the ridges and gaps, including the notable Hydes Gap along the northern edge of Elk Ridge.
