About this map

Cumberland Plateau terrain dominates this portion of Cumberland County, where the deeply incised gorge of the Obed Wild and Scenic River carves through sandstone layers. The map reveals a transition from the protected river corridor to the developing residential patterns around Peavine and the established rural character near Genesis. This landscape is marked by a high density of family cemeteries, including Peavine Cem, Elmore Cemetery, and multiple Turner family plots, reflecting the deep ancestral roots of the local community.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with numerous tributaries like S Fork Elmore Cr and Lick Creek feeding into the main river system. Human engineering is evident in the creation of Good Neighbor Lake and Ryan Lake, which contrast with the wilder, unmanaged flow of the Obed River as it passes under Adams Bridge. The road network, including Genesis Rd and Potters Ford Rd, follows the ridges and valleys of Cove Ridge and Bee Ridge.
