About this map

The Cumberland River meanders dramatically across this Smith County landscape, creating a sequence of distinctive geographic features like Beasleys Bend and Kennys Bend. The river's influence is evident in the numerous islands and bars that define the waterway, including Alexander Island, Lovells Island, and Bartletts Bar. These alluvial formations sit alongside high points such as Haynie Pinnacle and the prominent Scraunchers Rock Bluff, illustrating the varied topography of middle Tennessee.

Local settlements are concentrated along the transport corridors, with Riddleton, Dixon Springs, and Rome serving as primary hubs. For family historians, the map is a dense record of early local heritage, documenting numerous burial sites like Maceys Hill Cem, Litchford Cem, and Davis Cem. Notable landmarks such as Rock House and Saltpeter Hill further characterize the area's rural development and natural resources as they appeared in the early 21st century.
