2016 Map of Alexandria

About this map

Alexandria and Watertown anchor this 2016 study of the Tennessee countryside, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and named hollows. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Hickman Cr and Smith Fork Creek, with numerous smaller waterways like Brush Creek and Goose Cr carving through the terrain. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific local landmarks, from the Alexandria Eastview Colored Cem to the Old Campground Cem near the southern boundary. Higher ground is marked by prominent features such as Round Top Knob and Hearn Hill, while the lower elevations are home to storied locales like Malone Hollow and Chumley Hollow. This modern survey documents how historical community centers like Liberty Hill persist alongside contemporary infrastructure, preserving the names of the families who settled these ridges and valleys over generations.
