2016 Map of Daus

About this map

The Sequatchie River carves a deep path through the Sequatchie Valley, flanked by the steep rise of the Cumberland Escarpment to the west and Walden Ridge to the east. This landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where settlements like Dunlap and Daus are situated along the valley floor, while features such as Mosley Gulf and Poplar Spring Hollow cut into the surrounding highlands. The map provides a detailed view of the local transport and burial history, showing the Cordell Lane Br railroad and numerous family and community burial grounds, including Pickett Cem and Thans Chapel Cem. The transition from the more developed valley around Center Point to the rugged terrain of Woodcock Gulf illustrates the geographical constraints that have historically shaped settlement patterns in this part of Tennessee.
