About this map

Stanton serves as the focal point of this 2011 survey, situated where the Red River meets the local transportation network at the Stanton Interchange. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river valley floor to the prominent ridges and cliffs characteristic of this region. Notable high points such as Raven Rock, McKinney Cliff, and Cow Creek Mountain overlook a complex system of drainage branches including Morris Creek and Cane Creek.

Evidence of historical community life is found in several scattered settlements like Furnace and Knowlton, and preserved at the Rest Haven Cemetery and Hatton Creek Cemetery. The eastern portion of the map transitions into more specialized landmarks, including the Hemlock Lodge and the High Rock Lookout Tower, which stands near The Devils Gulch. These features, along with the Stanton Airport, illustrate the mix of local infrastructure and the natural topography of the Cumberland Plateau's western edge.
