About this map

Adolphus and Sugar Grove anchor this 2019 survey along the Kentucky-Tennessee border, where the rural uplands are dissected by the Middle Fork Drakes Creek and Trammel Creek drainage systems. The landscape is characterized by narrow ridge-top roads and small settlements that historically served the agricultural and timber interests of the region. The map reveals a high concentration of community burial sites and churches, including Mount Olive Cem and Roberts Tabernacle Cem, which are vital landmarks for genealogical research in this borderland area.

Transportation patterns follow the natural topography, with routes like Old Franklin Rd and New Buck Creek Rd winding between hollows such as Long Hollow. The presence of the Sugar Grove Airport near the southern boundary near Highland reflects more modern utility within this otherwise traditional rural network. Further north, small locales like Fleet, Alonzo, and Chapel Hill maintain the small-town character of the Allen and Sumner County line.
