2010 Map of Center Hill Dam

About this map

Center Hill Dam anchors this landscape, regulating the waters of Caney Fork to create the branching reach of Cedar Hill Lake. This 2010 survey details a region where modern recreation and state-managed lands meet a deep-rooted rural geography. The southern portions of the map are defined by intricate coves and hollows, including Atnip Hollow and Poison Hollow, while the north preserves a network of family cemeteries that speak to the area's ancestral ties. Genealogists will find names like Pricnard Cemetery, Braswell Cemetery, and Carr Cemetery scattered across the ridges. The presence of Atnip Bluff Cabin Colony and various marinas such as Holmes Creek Dock highlights the area's development into a central hub for Tennessee water-based tourism, all while maintaining its original topographical character of steep ridges like Moss Ridge and Tucker Ridge.
