2019 Map of Tyner

About this map

The Daniel Boone National Forest covers much of this section of the Cumberland Plateau, where the landscape is defined by the sharp relief between winding creek bottoms and high ridges. Significant local family history is anchored at the crossroads of Annville and Tyner, with numerous small burial grounds such as Dunn Cem, Castee Cem, and Walnut Hill Cem scattered across the upland farms. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Laurel Fork and Pond Cr carving deep into the terrain near settlements like Welchburg and Egypt. High points such as Zekes Point and Yates Knob overlook a network of rural routes, including Moores Creek Green Hill Rd and Greenhill Welchburg Rd, which trace the narrow ridgelines and valley floors that have historically dictated the placement of homesteads and schools in this part of Jackson County.
