BACK TO BLACKWATER...
The interactive map you’ll be taken to is a work in progress. Soon, you’ll be able to explore all known locations where historical Melungeons and related Indigenous and mixed-ancestry groups lived, including:
- counties
- towns
- communities
- waterbodies
- churches
- schools
- cemeteries
- historical events
- migration paths
- and more!
When clicked, each location will take you to the corresponding Cave of Clues page, where you can find more information and resources for that specific place!
UPDATES
7.7.25 – I was unable to find a way to export/import the data and markers from the old map, so am working to manually rebuild it. You should see the page out of “Coming Soon” mode by Thursday, July 10th.
6.30.25 – I’ve created a subdomain map.melungeonroots.com, and will be rebuilding the map there! Keeping it separate in this way should prevent it from causing any issues on the main site.
5.10.25 – The software used to build the interactive maps is causing issues with other parts of the site. I’ve reached out to the plugin developer about a solution, and hope to have those back up soon!
