2022 Map of Dorton

About this map

Cumberland Homesteads anchors this map of the Cumberland Plateau, illustrating the unique layout of this Depression-era subsistence homestead community. The landscape is dotted with numerous small family and community burial grounds, including the Homestead Cemetery and two distinct sites for the Warner Cemetery. The terrain is defined by the winding course of Daddys Creek, which carves through the sandstone plateau to create the dramatic Horseshoe Bend and Little Horseshoe Bend. Settlements like Dorton and Otter Creek Junction follow the historic corridor of US Highway 70, while more isolated areas like Bat Town Cove and Haley Cove sit at the base of Flat Mountain. This map provides a detailed view of the modern infrastructure and rural land use patterns in this part of Cumberland County.
