About this map

The Elk River winds through the borderlands of Giles and Lincoln counties, defining a landscape marked by longstanding milling sites and small agricultural crossroads. Rural life centers on settlements such as Dellrose, Wheelerton, and Baugh, where the terrain transitions from the river bottom to prominent rises like Meetinghouse Hill and Mansfield Hill. The presence of Hamilton Mill and Morrell Mill highlights the importance of the local waterways in powering the early industry of this region.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds, including Silvester Cem, Stone Cem, and Blanche Cem. Transportation patterns are revealed through features like the Stone Bluff Bridge and the Luda Tunnel, while local geography is categorized by dozens of hollows, such as Millville Hollow and Stevenson Hollow. The map also captures the southern communities of Ardmore and Elkmont Springs as they appeared in 2016.
