2019 Map of Burgess Falls

About this map

Cookeville serves as the regional anchor on this Tennessee landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply incised by the Falling Water River and its dramatic Burgess Falls. The settlement pattern reflects a mix of modern infrastructure, such as the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport, and long-standing rural communities like Ditty, Macedonia, and Bakers Crossroads. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Hitchcock Cem, Dobbs Cem, and Harris Cem, many situated along winding rural routes like Burgess Falls Rd. The county line between Putnam Co and White Co traverses the southern portion of the map, cutting through the rugged drainage of Tibbs Hollow and Cane Hollow. This modern survey documents the persistent rural character of the region alongside the expanding influence of the nearby city.
