2024 Map of Falls Chapel

About this map

The Cossatot River and Little River converge in a labyrinth of oxbows and sloughs defining the border between Sevier and Little River Counties. This low-lying riverine landscape is dominated by the Pond Creek National Wildlife Refuge, where features like Red Lake and the Gossatot River reflect the shifting hydrology of the bottomlands. The map documents the human footprint on the surrounding higher ground, notably at the small settlement of Ben Lomond and the dispersed community around Alleene. Local history is anchored by several sites of genealogical interest, including Falls Chapel Cem, Hopson Cem, and Mills Cem. The complex road network, from named routes like Nobles Mound Rd to numerous timber and access roads, illustrates the continued navigation of this river-braided terrain.
