About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this portion of Montgomery County, defining the local topography and historical transportation corridors. Named sandbars and hollows like Whiskey Bar, Cotton Bar, and Midnight Hollow speak to the river's influence on the landscape. The river also frames Seven Mile Island, a prominent landform situated just south of the growing southern edge of Clarksville.

Away from the water, the map documents a series of rural crossroads and settlements such as Orgain Crossroads, Salem, and Liverworth. Family-named sites are scattered throughout, providing valuable data for genealogists tracing roots in the area around Excell and Southside. Several burial sites, including Lyle Cem, Brame Cem, and Davidson Cem, are precisely located, often situated on the high ground between creek drainages like Rocky Ford Cr and Hurricane Cr.
