2011 Map of Scalf

About this map

Scalf Post Office and the small settlement of Scalf sit at the center of this mountain landscape, where the Middle Fork Stinking Creek meets its various tributaries. The area is defined by a dense network of branches and forks, including the Stinking Creek which winds past Walker and Dewitt in the southwest. This 2011 survey documents a community tied deeply to the local topography, with roads like Mill Creek-Hubbards Fork Rd and Turkey Fork Rd tracing the narrow valleys between prominent rises. Genealogists may find interest in the Mills-Messer Cemetery located near Mills, or the distribution of post offices across the rural landscape at Walker Post Office and Dewitt Post Office. The map captures the enduring geography of Knox County, from the high point of Huckleberry Knob to the gaps at Caney Gap and Greasy Gap.
