About this map

Stockton sits at the heart of this Fentress County landscape, surrounded by a complex network of ridges and deep-cut stream valleys. The rugged geography is defined by prominent features like McKinley Ridge and Tar Kiln Ridge, which separate the various forks and branches of the local drainage system. To the east, the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area encompasses a significant portion of the territory, including unique geological formations such as The Narrows.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the highlands, from Stockton Cem and Potter Cem near the central settlement to the more remote Christian Cem near Briar Point. The map also preserves traces of local industry and resource extraction at Coal Bank Hollow. This survey reflects the persistence of small rural communities like Allardt and Armathwaite within a landscape increasingly dedicated to conservation and recreation.
