About this map

Crossville sits at the western edge of this Cumberland Plateau landscape, where the legacy of the New Deal era is still visible in the planned community of Cumberland Homesteads. This 2016 survey shows the intricate network of family burial grounds and small settlements that define the region's rural character, including Homestead, Meridian, and Otter Creek Junction. The terrain is marked by the winding course of Daddys Creek and the notable Horseshoe Bend, while numerous small lakes like Wildwood Lake and Hale Lake dot the drainages.

Genealogists can trace various family-named sites such as Warner Cem Number One, Hedgecoth Cem, and Baker Chapel Cem. The map captures the intersection of traditional plateau life and modern infrastructure, from the Buck Creek Ranch Airport to the newer developments of Fairfield Glade in the northeast. This juxtaposition of historic homesteading sites and 21st-century residential patterns provides a clear view of how land use has evolved around the intersection of Us HWY 70 and Interstate 40.
