2022 Map of Evensville

About this map

Walden Ridge and the Cumberland Escarpment dominate the western portion of this Tennessee landscape, creating a sharp elevation change that funnels drainage toward the Tennessee River. Between these heights and the river, the valley is populated by long-standing communities like Evensville and Old Washington, where a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, including Hazelwood Cem, Slave Cem, and Mynatt Cem, provides a map for genealogical research. The transportation corridor is defined by the Norfolk Southern rail line and US Highway 27, which run parallel to the ridge line. Significant topographical features like the Yarborough Gulf and The Shinbone showcase the complex geology of Rhea County, while the eastern border follows the river's path through Hunter Bend and Hazel Ridge Shoals.
