About this map

Industrial and coal-mining heritage anchor this survey of the Blount Co Jefferson Co border. The Louisville and Nashville railroad serves as the primary spine for development, connecting the residential and commercial centers of Warrior and Kimberly. Evidence of the region's extractive economy is visible in specialized landmarks like the Coal Chute near Linton, while the Chimneys Ruins suggest an earlier chapter of settlement.

The landscape is deeply etched by the Locust Fork of the Warrior River and its tributaries, such as Gurley Creek and Cane Creek. Numerous small communities, often centered on local institutions like the Mortimer Jordan Sch or Watts Union Ch, dot the hillsides. These settlements, including Seloca, Beltona, and Majestic, represent the tight-knit rural and industrial hamlets that defined northern Jefferson County during the mid-twentieth century.
