About this map

Portland serves as the primary hub of this northern Tennessee landscape, where the Portland Municipal Airport and Portland City Lake highlight modern infrastructure alongside deep-rooted rural settlements. The terrain is characterized by the branching drainages of West Fork Drakes Creek and Caney Fork Cr, creating a series of ridges and hollows such as Wattwood Hollow and Buttermilk Hollow.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial sites scattered across the countryside, including the Brizendine Graveyard, Neal Cem, and Giles Perdue Cem. Smaller communities like Sengtown, Chestnut Hill, and Sulphura are linked by a network of winding roads like Dobbins Pike, reflecting the traditional settlement patterns of Sumner County. The area around Fountain Head preserves local history through sites like the Old Fountain Head Cem, documenting generations of residents in this highland region.
