About this map

The settlement of Crab Orchard anchors the southeastern corner of this Tennessee landscape, where the plateau begins to break into complex ridges and coves. The area is defined by its numerous small impoundments and family-named landmarks, reflecting a community deeply tied to its geography. Water resources are prominent, ranging from the large Saint George Lake near the community of Fairview to smaller bodies like Wildwood Lake and Hale Lake tucked into the hills.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the many small burial grounds scattered across the terrain, such as Baker Chapel Cemetery, Hedgecoth Cemetery, and the dual sites of Warner Cemetery Number One and Warner Cemetery Number Two. The transport network shows a mix of historical routes like Old Stagecoach Rd and Walton Rd intersecting with modern corridors, illustrating how the paths through Keating Hollow and over Hyder Ridge have evolved while maintaining their original course through the coves.
