About this map

The Cumberland River dictates the landscape of northern Tennessee in this 2013 survey, winding through a series of dramatic oxbows and islands. Notable riverside landmarks such as Rome Ferry and Bridgewaters Landing reflect a long history of river-based transit and commerce. The terrain is marked by significant bluffs and points, including Scraunchers Rock Bluff, Upton Bluff, and Haynie Pinnacle, which rise above the river's path.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and the river's curves, with communities like Riddleton, Rome, and Dixon Springs serving as local hubs. The area is rich with family-named features and rural landmarks, from Beasleys Bend and Cages Bend to named hollows like Wilburn Hollow and Brimm Hollow. These labels provide essential context for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of Smith County's riverfront communities.
