About this map

Woods Reservoir dominates this landscape, created by the Elk River Dam to serve the aerospace research needs of the region. The map captures a unique intersection of high-technology and rural heritage, where the University of Tennessee Space Institute stands adjacent to historical landmarks like Elder Island and the Morris Ferry Bridge. This area, once defined by the flowing Elk River, has been transformed into a significant water body supporting recreational sites like Camp Tannassie and Camp Arrowhead.

Genealogical interest is particularly high here, with dozens of family and community burial grounds documented across the terrain. From the Duncans Stagecoach Cemetery near Duncan Lake to the Old Bethpage Cemetery and New Brick Church Cemetery, the map provides a precise record of early Franklin County settlements. Local names are preserved in features like Lawson Hollow and along Wattendorf Memorial HWY, reflecting the deep-rooted family histories that persist alongside modern infrastructure.
