2016 Map of Adams

About this map

The Red River and Sulphur Fork Red River converge in this northern Tennessee landscape, carving deep valleys through the limestone terrain of Robertson and Montgomery counties. This area is characterized by a high density of family cemeteries, reflecting generations of land ownership and agricultural heritage in the settlements of Adams, Sadlersville, and Cedar Hill. Notable among these are the John Bell Cem and Bellwood Cem, names deeply tied to regional folklore. The network of winding country roads follows the ridges between watercourses like Elk Fork and Sturgeon Cr, connecting numerous homesteads and burial sites such as the Fort Cem and Kane-David Cem. Harper Lake and Millers Creek provide further drainage in the southern portion, where the undulating topography influences the placement of rural infrastructure and historic property boundaries.
