About this map

Coahulla Creek and its many tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Hicks Branch, define the rural landscape of southeast Tennessee in the late 1960s. The area is marked by numerous country churches and cemeteries that serve as vital touchstones for genealogical research, such as Liberty Cem near the Macedonia Ch and the remote Swan Cem located along the Bradley Co Polk Co line.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around small communities like Waterville and Sugar Grove, while smaller clusters are found at Felker and Higgins. The local economy of this era is reflected in specialized features like the minnow rearing pools at Sherwood Forest and the pumping station near Wildwood Lake. Prominent landmarks such as Million Hill and the Tennessee Valley Divide provide topographic structure to a region where small educational centers like Taylor Sch and Valley View Sch once anchored the local community.
