About this map

Gassaway sits at a low point in the terrain where several branches converge to form the Three Forks Br, establishing a small community hub defined by its namesake Gassaway School Rd. The landscape is a network of ridges and deep hollows, many bearing family names that speak to the area's genealogical roots, such as Givens Hollow, Pistole Hollow, and Vandergriff Hollow. Significant elevation is found at Snows Hill and Pea Ridge, while higher settlements like Mount Moriah and Mount Ararat occupy the upland spaces between drainages.

The eastern portion of the quadrangle shows distinct small clusters at Bluhmtown and Pisgah, connected by rural routes that follow the winding path of Bluhmtown Cr and Dry Cr. Landmarks like Indian Grave Point and Round Cave Hill Hollow indicate a landscape with deep local history and distinct geological features. The drainage patterns of the Clear Fork Cr and its numerous tributaries continue to shape the development and road networks of this Tennessee countryside.
