2016 Map of Cumberland Furnace

About this map

Cumberland Furnace serves as the focal point of this region where the borders of Montgomery, Dickson, and Cheatham Counties meet. The landscape is defined by the legacy of early industry and family settlement, evident in the numerous burial grounds such as Cumberland Furnace Cem and Hagewood Cem. Small communities like Stayton, Glenwylde, and McAllisters Crossroads are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the winding paths of Bartons Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Bartons Cr and Fatty Bread Br. The terrain is marked by distinct landmarks like Pinnacle Point and Gallion Hill, while names such as Coaling suggest the historic resource extraction that once supported the local iron works. From the northern reaches of Southside to the hollows of Washer Hollow and Owl Hollow, this map illustrates the enduring rural character of these Tennessee highlands.
