2016 Map of Watertown

About this map

Watertown serves as the primary hub in this portion of Wilson County, where Sparta Pike and the central street grid meet the waters of Round Lick Cr. The landscape transitions from the developed corridors of Cherry Valley and Doaks Crossroads in the north to a more dissected terrain of hollows and ridges in the south. High points like Mt Defiance overlook a network of rural settlements including Sherrilltown and Statesville. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites throughout the countryside, such as Jennings Cem, Waters Cem, and Greenvale Cem. The drainage pattern is complex, defined by numerous waterways like Smith Fork Cr, Beech Log Cr, and Fall Creek that have shaped the agricultural placement of these small communities over generations.
