2010 Map of Bath Springs

About this map

Tennessee River navigation and the legacy of local industry define this landscape near the community of Mount Carmel. The river's broad course is marked by numerous landings that once served as vital commerce points, including Bobs Landing, Akin Landing, and Patterson Landing. Evidence of the region's 19th-century industrial past remains at Decatur Furnace, a site indicative of the iron production that once thrived in this part of the state. The interior is a mosaic of family heritage, with dozens of small burial grounds such as the Lafferty Cemetery, Simmons Cemetery, and Yarbro Cemetery dotting the ridges and hollows. The presence of the Bath Springs Post Office and the Clifton Marina underscores the shift from river-based industry to modern recreational and civic life along the banks of the Tennessee.
