2020 Map of Falls Chapel

About this map

Ben Lomond and the winding reaches of the Little River anchor this topographic study of the borderlands between Sevier and Little River counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the elevated terrain of the Indian Hills in the northeast to the broad, marshy floodplains of the river bottomlands. Numerous sloughs and backwaters, such as Big Slough and Davis Slough, reflect the dynamic nature of the river system before it meets the Cossatot River. Local history and genealogy are centered around the community of Falls Chapel, which includes its namesake Falls Chapel Cem and nearby Hopson Cem. The road network is particularly intricate along the southern riverbanks, with numerous local routes like Little River 60 and Little River 100 providing access to the fertile but seasonally inundated lowlands.
