About this map

De Rossett and Ravenscroft occupy the high ground of the Cumberland Plateau in this modern survey of eastern White County. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of several drainages, including Doe Cr and the winding course of Clifty Cr which carves through the eastern portion of the quadrangle. Historical settlement patterns are evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds such as McKinney Cem, Bon Air Cem, and Stringtown Cem.

Industrial and natural history converge at sites like Wonder Lake, Arrowhead Lake, and Billy Branch Lake, while the terrain rises toward Chestnut Mtn in the south. The road network, including the Old Railroad Grade Rd, hints at the area's transition from a rail-dependent economy to a modern rural landscape. Smaller hamlets like Stringtown, Lost Creek, and Mobra remain situated along the creeks and coves, preserving the layout of these upland Tennessee communities.
