About this map

Beanblossom sits at the southern edge of this study, marking a landscape where agricultural clearings meet the dense drainage networks of the Hamblen and Nineveh townships. This 1962 survey, updated with revisions through the early 1990s, illustrates the transformation of the region’s hydrology, particularly the emergence of recreation and residential water bodies such as Sweetwater Lake and Cordry Lake in the eastern hills.

Smaller crossroads like Spearsville and Peoga provide anchor points for genealogists, as do several country houses of worship including Mt Carmel Ch and Friendship Ch. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Beanblossom Creek and the North Fork Salt Creek, which together create a complex system of ridges and valleys that have historically shaped the placement of local cemeteries like Lick Spring Cem and the small rural settlement at Fruitdale.
