2016 Map of Beech Bluff

About this map

The North Fork Forked Deer River and South Fork Forked Deer River define the hydraulic character of this Tennessee landscape, creating broad wetland corridors that separate the upland settlements. In the center of the quadrangle, Maple Grove sits atop the drainage divide, while the community of Beech Bluff occupies the eastern edge near Bear Cr. The southern portion of the map transitions into the drainage area for Finger Cr and Hunters Cr, marked by the small crossroads of Five Points. This modern survey documents a rural environment where aviation meets agriculture at Southfork Airport, and where local water management is represented by Tennessee Sheriffs Youthtown Lake. The map is heavily detailed with named country lanes, including Potts Chapel Rd and Harts Bridge Rd, which trace the historic movement patterns between these Madison County hamlets.
