About this map

Sharp Place serves as the focal point for this survey along the high borderlands of the Tennessee and Kentucky line. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Flint Fork and Laurel Fork, which carve through deep ridges such as Phillip Ridge and Fork Ridge. This modern topographic study reveals a terrain heavily managed for recreation and conservation, split between the Daniel Boone National Forest and the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area.

Genealogists will find a series of family-named burial sites including Sharp Cem, Smith Cem, and Blevins Cem scattered across the hills. The map highlights the transition from traditional settlement patterns at Greenwood Cliff to a modern network of trails like the Slave Falls-To-Charit Creek Trl and Yellow Cliff Trl. Named natural landmarks such as Chimney Rock and Moccasin Gap remain prominent fixtures of this protected woodland environment.
