About this map

The Falling Water River carves a deep path through this section of the Cumberland Plateau, defining the boundary between Putnam and White counties. The landscape is characterized by a mix of agricultural fields and rolling hills, with several small rural communities like Ditty, Twin Oak, and Macedonia serving as local hubs. In the southeastern portion, Bakers Crossroads marks a key intersection near the Upper Cumberland Regional Airport, a major infrastructure point for the region. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family burial grounds throughout the area, including Rhea Cem, Hitchcock Cem, and the Southern Cem near the southern edge of the sheet. The terrain is further shaped by smaller tributaries such as Cane Creek and Pigeon-Roost-Cr, which drain into the river system. North of the river, the area around One Grand Field reflects the rural, open character of the Tennessee uplands.
