2019 Map of Saxton

About this map

Cumberland River meanders through the northern reaches of this Whitley County terrain, carving distinctive horseshoe-shaped features like Horseshoe Bend and Maiden Bend. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Pine Mountain and numerous hollows, including Powers Hollow and Queener Hollow, which shaped the placement of local settlements and roads. This survey illustrates a network of small communities such as Gatliff, Nevisdale, and Packard that grew along the creek beds and mountain gaps. Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including family-named sites like Powers Cem and Siler Cemetary, along with landmarks like Bunkers Hill and Vanderpool Mtn. The southwestern corner is anchored by the Daniel Boone National Forest, showing the intersection of managed timberlands with the rural infrastructure of the Saxton area.
