About this map

Woods Reservoir dominates the central landscape of this southern Tennessee terrain, where the waters of the Elk River are impounded near Capitol Hill. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Duncans Stagecoach Cem, Old Grays Mill Cem, and Gossage Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this portion of Coffee and Franklin Counties.

Settlement patterns are anchored by small communities like Duncantown, Gum Creek, and Decherd, while the southwestern corner touches Tims Ford Lake near Estill Springs. The topography transitions from the lowlands of Lye Pond and Holland Pond to the distinct elevation of Little Mtn. Named hollows like Sattwell Hollow and Bluehole Hollow score the hillsides, illustrating the complex drainage system feeding into the reservoirs that define the modern geography of the region.
