2020 Map of Bridgeport

About this map

Bridgeport occupies a strategic position along the Tennessee River where the Alabama and Tennessee state borders meet. This modern survey illustrates the enduring presence of family history in the region, noting numerous small burial grounds such as the Walker Family Cem, Richards Cem, and Whited Cem. A significant site for military history researchers is the US Military General Field Hospital Cem located near Battery Hill, pointing to the area's logistical importance in past conflicts. The landscape is defined by the river’s winding course, with features like Long Island, Hembrees Bar, and Knotts Lndg shaping the shoreline. To the east, the terrain rises sharply toward Sand Mountain and Porter Bluff, while the CSX Transportation line provides a continuous rail link through the valley between South Pittsburg and Bryant.
