About this map

Bumpus Mills and the surrounding Stewart County countryside are defined by the intricate drainage systems that feed into the Cumberland River and Lake Barkley. This 2022 survey captures a landscape deeply rooted in family history, evidenced by the numerous small burial grounds such as the George Wallace Cem, Lottie Wallace Cem, and Crow Cem tucked into the hollows. The settlement of Big Rock sits to the east, while Chestnut Grove marks the western reach of the map.

Topographically, the area is a complex network of ridges and hollows, including Harrison Ridge and Yarborough Hollow. The transition from the high ground down to the Cumberland River floodplain at Pool Two illustrates the local reliance on the river system. Genealogists will find particular value in the distribution of family names across features like Robinson Hill and Wallace Ridge, reflecting generations of settlement in this part of Tennessee.
