2013 Map of Burgess Falls

About this map

Falling Water River carves a winding path through the heart of this Putnam County landscape, feeding into Burgess Falls Lake and eventually the eastern reaches of Center Hill Lake. The 2013 topography reveals a network of small, established communities and crossroads that define the region's social geography, including Hamptons Crossroads, Macedonia, and Bussell. Transport and infrastructure are represented by the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport and smaller private airstrips like One Grand Field Airport. The map documents a transition from residential clusters like Amber Meadows and Lakeland Park to the deep incisions of Cane Hollow and Tibbs Hollow. These hollows and the rugged course of Cane Cr illustrate the drainage patterns that have shaped the rural settlement of this Tennessee plateau.
