About this map

Cleveland and the surrounding Blount County ridges are defined by the winding waters of the Locust Fork and Little Warrior River. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape where agriculture and early industry met along the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, particularly around Allgood and Graystone. Historical infrastructure is a notable focus, featuring the Hendrick Mill Covered Bridge and another unnamed Covered Bridge on the Locust Fork, alongside Gordon's Dam.

Genealogists can trace family connections through numerous rural landmarks such as Greens Chapel, New Bethel Ch, and several well-placed burial grounds including Chitwood Cemetery and Easley Cemetery. The map captures the era's transition with updated photogrammetric revisions, showing the expansion of settlements like Rosa and Fairview against the traditional backdrop of Sand Mountain and Straight Mountain.
