2013 Map of Brockdell

About this map

Sequatchie College stands near the intersection of Old Highway 28 and the modern thoroughfare in this portion of the Cumberland Plateau. The settlement pattern here is defined by long, parallel ridges such as Rainey Ridge and Chinquapin Ridge, with development clustered along the narrow valleys and gaps. The map documents rural centers like Brockdell and Lusk, while the rail history of the area is represented by Lees Station near the Sequatchie River. Topographic features like Rains Gulf and Sullivan Cove reveal the complex geography of the plateau's edge. Researchers will find numerous family-named landmarks and roads, including Ed Bowling Rd and Rosco Keener Rd, illustrating the deep-rooted local genealogy of the region. The map also captures the high-elevation waters of Meadow Creek Lake and the drainage of Cane Creek through Devils Neck.
