About this map

Smithfield serves as a central hub for this portion of Jefferson County, where the industrial legacy of the region is etched into the landscape through features like the Consolidation Coal Company Pond 0206 and Boich Mining Company Pond Number Two. The map details a network of ridges and hollows, including Quaker Ridge and Opossum Hollow, which have dictated the placement of small settlements and family cemeteries for generations.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with numerous burial sites such as the McIntyre African Methodist Episcopal Cem and Mount Moriah Cem preserved alongside historic communities like Unionport, Bloomingdale, and Piney Fork. The drainage patterns of Cross Creek and McIntyre Cr define the movement through these valleys, connecting the various mining ponds and sportsmens lakes that now dot the terrain.
