2024 Map of Brooksville

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the center of this terrain, where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates north-flowing waters like Browns Creek from the drainage basins of Big Spring Creek and Locust Fork to the south. The landscape is defined by its deep gaps and ridges, including Hobson Gap, Cox Gap, and Gilbreth Gap, which have historically funneled travel through this part of the Blount CO and Marshall Co borderlands. Small communities such as Brooksville, Bright Star, and Nixon Chapel are scattered across the valleys and mountain plateaus, often centered around long-standing family and community burial grounds.
