About this map

Cleveland and South Cleveland mark the urban expansion at the western edge of this survey, where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates the watershed. Moving east, the landscape transitions into a network of small rural settlements like Sugar Grove, Felker, and Waterville. These communities are defined by their proximity to numerous water sources, including Wildwood Lake, Jersey Meadow Lake, and the winding Coahulla Cr.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the Bradley County and Polk County line, from the Macedonia Cem in the north to the Sugar Creek Cem near Gap Spring. The map documents a complex hydrology of named springs and branches, such as Deverell Spring, Lacy Spring, and Bird Br, which supported the agricultural development of the Blackburn Ridges and the surrounding valley floor.
