About this map

Stockton and Armathwaite anchor this portion of Fentress County, where the plateau landscape is deeply incised by the tributaries of the Big South Fork. Much of the eastern half is occupied by the Big South Fork National River and Recreation Area, a region defined by dramatic landforms like The Narrows and numerous sandstone ridges including Sawtooth Ridge, Tar Kiln Ridge, and McKinley Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites scattered across the ridges and hollows, from the Potter Cem and Terry Cem near the center of the map to the Christian Cem further east. The road network, including Stockton Chapel Rd and Mount Helen Rd, follows the winding topography, connecting historic family-named landmarks like Darrow Ridge and Bluebird Ridge. The drainage patterns of White Oak Cr and Spruce Cr illustrate the complex watershed that has shaped settlement and travel in this part of Tennessee for generations.
