About this map

Rosedale and the surrounding high country of the Tennessee Valley Divide define this pocket of the Cumberland Mountains as it appeared in the late 2010s. The landscape is characterized by deep hollows and narrow ridges like Carroll Ridge and Patterson Mtn, where small settlements and logging or mining camps such as Welch Camp and Gennett Camp once anchored local life. The map is a significant resource for genealogists, documenting dozens of family-named burial sites including the Patterson Cemeteries, Ben Phillips Cem, and Grave Hill Cem.

Waterways like the New River and Ligias Fork carve through the terrain, while roads such as Phillips Rd and Mining Rd follow the contours of the land. The concentration of features like Dogwood Flats and Pine Orchard Flats amidst the steep slopes of Buffalo Mtn illustrates the historical reliance on any available level ground for settlement and industry in this portion of Anderson and Campbell Counties.
