About this map

Old Cumberland and the Cumberland Escarpment define the geography of this Bledsoe County landscape, where the plateau surface meets the dramatic descent into the Sequatchie Valley. This 2019 survey captures a complex network of ridges and hollows, including Rainey Ridge, Brock Hollow, and Higginbotham Ridge. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, showing how waters from Slaytons Fork and Meadow Cr eventually contribute to the region's river systems across the Tennessee Valley Divide.

Small communities and family landmarks are preserved through labels like Brockdell, Lees Station, and Lusk. Local history and genealogy researchers can find several burial sites such as Cagle Cem, Dodson Cem, and Price Cem. The terrain is further marked by distinctive high points like Sheepnose Mtn and Blair Mtn, while the Sequatchie River winds through the lower elevations on the eastern edge of the sheet.
