2022 Map of Whitleyville

About this map

Whitleyville and the winding course of Jennings Creek define this section of Jackson County, where the Cumberland River valley has been transformed by the Cordell Hull Reservoir. The landscape is a complex of deep hollows and high points like Chimney Knob and Buzzard Bluff Knob, illustrating the traditional upland settlement patterns of the Highland Rim. Smaller communities such as Stone, Hurricane, and Haydenburg are connected by narrow roads following the creek beds and ridges, including Old State Rte 85. Genealogists will find numerous family-linked locations and burial sites, from Cub Creek Cem to the Draper-Naff Cem. The map also details modern infrastructure like the Jackson County Airport situated on the banks above the reservoir, contrasting with the many named gaps and hollows like Moccasin Gap and Sloan Hollow that have shaped local travel for generations.
