2019 Map of Adams

About this map

Red River and the Sulphur Fork Red River define the winding valley landscape of northern Robertson County, where the historic settlement of Adams sits near the confluence of major drainage systems. This 2019 survey documents a region steeped in local lore and family history, evidenced by an exceptionally dense concentration of family cemeteries. Notable sites including Bellwood Cem, John Bell Cem, and Bell Cem speak to the deep ancestral roots of the area, particularly the Bell family whose history is central to Tennessee legend. Smaller communities like Sadlersville and Cedar Hill serve as anchors along the transport corridor, while Elk Fork and Millers Creek drain the surrounding uplands. The layout of the road network, including Port Royal Rd and Old State Rte 11, follows the natural contours of the river bends, preserving a rural settlement pattern where agriculture and genealogy remain closely intertwined.
