About this map

The Cumberland River carves a deep path through this landscape south of Clarksville, revealing a river-oriented geography defined by historic landings and navigation hazards. Landings such as Lime Kiln Landing, Wilsons Landing, and Sheltons Landing suggest the enduring importance of the waterway for commerce and local transit. The topography is marked by named bars and islands, including Seven Mile Island and the curiously named Whiskey Bar, while narrow hollows like Midnight Hollow and Tin Cup Hollow drain the surrounding heights.

Away from the river, the map records a rural network of family-named roads and community anchors. Local history researchers can trace the locations of the Southside Post Office and the settlement of Cabin Row. Several historic burying grounds, such as Lyle Cemetery, Brame Cemetery, and Stewart Cemetery, remain as fixed points in a changing rural landscape, connected by thoroughfares like Seven Mile Ferry Rd and Old Hwy 48.
