About this map

The Wilderness and The Narrows define the deeply dissected plateaus of this corner of Fentress County. The landscape is marked by a heavy concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Royalston Cemetery, Potter Cemetery, and Hick Cemetery, providing vital markers for genealogists tracing upland settlers. Hydrology is central to the area's geography, anchored by the Jamestown Reservoir and the Jamestown Reservoir Dam.

Numerous ridges and hollows, such as Slipshuck Ridge and Coal Bank Hollow, dictate the winding paths of local routes like Darrow Ridge Rd and Stockton Rd. These topographical features separate the drainage basins of North White Oak Creek and the Laurel Fork, illustrating the difficult terrain that shaped the rural community of Royal Blue and its surrounding homesteads in the early twenty-first century.
