2010 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Watertown and Alexandria serve as the primary hubs in this central Tennessee landscape, connected by a network of rural roads that navigate a series of significant hollows and ridges. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations such as Round Top Knob and Hearn Hill, while the drainage pattern of Smith Fork Creek, Brush Creek, and Helton Creek dictates the placement of early homesteads and transport corridors. The map reveals a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Grandstaff Cemetery, Smith Cemetery, and Talley Cemetery, which are scattered along the creek valleys. A distinct historical marker is the Brush Creek Post Office near the northern boundary, while geographic features like Holmes Gap and Chumley Hollow illustrate the localized nomenclature of the region's topography.
