About this map

Judd Slough and a series of bluffs including Goodman Bluff and Jewell Bluff define the northern water interface of this Tennessee landscape. The interior is a dense network of family-named cemeteries and landmarks, reflecting generations of local history. Notable sites such as Saint Elmo Cemetery, Smith Chapel Cemetery, and the Birchwood Post Office serve as central points for the surrounding rural community.

Transport and topography are closely linked here, with roads like Blythe Ferry Rd and Daugherty Ferry Rd suggesting a long history of river crossings. Significant terrain features such as Burdette Ridge, Texas Knobs, and Barger Knob break up the valley floors, while Mungers Pond Dam regulates water flow in the western sector. The map provides a detailed view of the No Pone Valley and the smaller hollows, like Horner Hollow and Fisher Hollow, that pocket the ridges.
