About this map

Cumberland Furnace serves as the focal point for this mid-century topographic record, located where the borders of Montgomery, Dickson, and Cheatham counties meet. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Cumberland River in the northeast and a dense network of named hollows and branches. Significant for genealogists, the area is dotted with family-named landmarks and resting places such as Hagewood Cem, Batson Cem, and Patterson Cem.

The industrial and social history of the region is evident in features like the Mine near Stayton and numerous country churches, including Mt Zion Ch and Soules Chapel. The road network, including the specifically named Metal Road and Coaling Road, hints at the historical transport of materials through the ridges. Educational landmarks like Grandview Sch and Rosedale Sch anchor the rural communities found at McAllisters Crossroads and Glenwylde.
