2019 Map of Cumberland City

About this map

Cumberland City and surrounding settlements like Watauga and Marlow anchor this landscape along the southern reaches of Lake Cumberland. The map reveals a deeply dissected terrain characterized by prominent ridges and knobs, including Sulpher Spring Ridge, Beck Ridge, and the distinct summit of Short Mtn. A network of rural routes, such as Jones Mill Rd and Shelton Town Rd, connects these upland communities. Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites throughout the region, ranging from the Walnut Grove Church Cem to smaller family-named plots like McWhorter Cem and Hopkins Cem. The southern border area includes the community of Cartwright and the geographic landmark known as Road Gap, marking a transition in the local topography where numerous branches and creeks, such as Brumley Cr and Stillhouse Br, drain toward the main lake body.
