About this map

The Cumberland River carves a dramatic path through this section of Cumberland County, creating distinctive geographical features like The Narrows and Elbow Bend. This landscape is defined by the relationship between the river and the surrounding high ground, such as Zeketown Ridge and Ashlock Ridge. Rural life is centered around several small communities including Littrell, Stalcup, and Judio. For those tracing family histories, the map includes local burial grounds like Philpot Cem, Long Cem, and Short Cem, while the southern reaches show the waters of Dale Hollow Lake near Hendricks Creek Dock. The road network connects riverside bottoms like Vernon Bottom and Washes Bottom to the upland settlements, preserving the names of local residents and geographical landmarks across the rugged terrain.
