According to the article "Hunt's Mill Civil War Skirmish" by Ann B. Chambless, page 10-12, Jackson County Chronicles newsletter No. 37, July 5, 1984 (pdf page 32. see link below), "The mill was located on present-day Old Larkinsville Road just south of Julius Beard's home. Former Congressman Robert E. Jones advised: "Hunt's Mill was near the Memphis and Charleston water tanks" …The circa 1870 map on page 10 shows Hunt's Saw Mill on the north edge of the M&CRR track and just south of the Scottsville (Scottsboro) to Larkinsville Road. The old road followed the base of the mountain and ran parallel to the railroad."
