2019 Map of Carthage

About this map

Carthage and South Carthage anchor this landscape where the Cumberland River meets the expansive waters of the Cordell Hull Reservoir. The terrain is defined by a dense network of steep ridges and named hollows, including Friendship Hollow, Brooks Hollow, and Dillehay Hollow, which reflect long-standing family landholdings and localized communities. To the north, the curiously named settlements of Defeated and Difficult sit along the winding paths of Defeated Cr and Cromwell Br, hinting at the challenging topography that early settlers encountered.
