2019 Map of Sinking Cove

About this map

Crow Creek Valley cuts through the steep slopes of the Cumberland Plateau in this 2019 survey, illustrating the deep topographic divide between the valley floor and the surrounding ridges. The rural communities of Tantallon and Sherwood serve as the primary hubs in this part of Franklin County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows such as Custard Hollow and Pumplog Hollow. For those exploring local family histories, several burial grounds are scattered throughout the terrain, including Gass Cem and Willard Cem. The map provides detailed placement of family-named landmarks like Barnes Point and Bear Hollow Mtn, alongside the complex hydrology of Keith Cove Cr and No Business Cr. These features highlight the isolated nature of settlements like Sinking Cove, which remain geographically constrained by the surrounding uplands.
