About this map

The Cumberland Escarpment and the massive Walden Ridge dominate the western portion of this Rhea County landscape, creating a dramatic topographical transition toward the Tennessee River valley. The community of Evensville sits at the foot of these heights, while further east, the waters of Chickamauga Lake define the boundary with Meigs County. The area is dense with family and historic burial sites, including the Newby Cem, Mynatt Cem, and a noted Slave Cem near the riverbanks.

Agricultural and small-town patterns remain evident in the cluster of landmarks near Old Washington and the presence of Smyrna Ch. From the heights of The Shinbone down to the bottomlands of Little Richland Cr and Thorny Br, this map captures a mix of rugged ridgeline and river-bottom settlement. Numerous springs like Beckett Spring and Webb Spring dot the terrain, illustrating the historical importance of local water sources for these upland Tennessee communities.
