2022 Map of Fredonia

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this portion of Coffee County, separating complex drainage patterns where the Duck River and Parks Cr carve through the landscape. The geography is defined by a transition from the lower elevations of Greenbrier Flat to the higher ground of Flat Mtn, a terrain that has historically dictated the placement of small agricultural communities and family homesteads. Early industry is marked by the presence of Strauss Mill on Muddy Br, while the southeastern corner is influenced by the Louisville and Nashville RR corridor near Forest Mill. Local heritage is preserved in numerous family and community burial grounds, including Ogles Cem, Welker Cem, and Carden Cem, which anchor the rural settlements of Fredonia and New Union. The abundance of water features like Boiling Spring Br and Goodman Spring Br underscores the area's perennial reliance on its natural springs.
