About this map

Union Hill and Miles Crossroads anchor this landscape along the Tennessee-Kentucky border, where the rural character is defined by a dense network of local roads and water management features. The area is marked by numerous family-named routes such as Paul Reecer Rd, Wm Reecer Rd, and Eulis Sweezy Rd, reflecting long-standing local ties. For genealogists, the presence of several burying grounds, including Pitcock Cemetery, Jonestown Cemetery, Union Hill Cemetery, and Miles Cemetery, provides vital links to the families who settled this region.

Water control is a prominent feature of the terrain, visible through the Jennings Creek Watershed Dam Number Six and similar structures like Line Creek Watershed Dam Number Three B. These dams create small reservoirs such as Lake Number Five and Lake Site Number Four. The physical geography is further shaped by McCormick Ridge and the high point at Brays Knob, with drainage flowing through branches like Little Brimstone Creek and Sycamore Fork.
