2013 Map of Cumberland Furnace

About this map

Cumberland Furnace and the surrounding Tennessee countryside are detailed in this 21st-century study of the landscape south of the Cumberland River. The area is characterized by its agricultural roots and deep-cut valleys like Washer Hollow and Sally Hagewood Hollow. Small settlements and crossroads such as McAllisters Crossroads, Glenwylde, and Stayton are connected by a network of winding roads including Old Highway 48 and Southside Rd. The map illustrates a rural landscape where local geography is often named for early settlers, seen in features like Hunley Branch and Fatty Bread Br. Near the southern boundary, topographical markers like Butcher Ridge and Gallion Hill overlook the drainage of Furnace Cr and Bartons Cr. This record is particularly valuable for genealogists and local historians tracing family lands near New Hope, Rock Springs, and the community of Coaling.
