1949 Map of Webbs Jungle

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Middle Fork Stones River carves a path through this central Tennessee landscape, following a valley corridor flanked by the distinctive knobs and hollows of Rutherford and Bedford Counties. The Dixie Highway West serves as the primary artery for the region, passing through notable local landmarks like Hoovers Gap and near the namesake community of Webbs Jungle. This era of documentation reveals a rural social structure anchored by numerous country churches, such as Mt Carmel Church and New Hope Church, alongside small local educational centers like the Buchanan School. The geography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, with the terrain transitioning from the lower valley floors to higher elevations like Pilot Knob and Locust Knob. Settlement patterns are evident in small hamlets like Big Springs and Gum, where family-named cemeteries such as Todd Cem and Robinson Cem provide significant genealogical value.
