About this map

J Percy Priest Reservoir dominates the western and southern reaches of this landscape, its fingers reaching inland toward the community centered at Gladeville Post Office. The area is remarkably dense with family burial grounds, reflecting generations of settlement in this part of Rutherford and Wilson counties. From the Fellowship Cemetery in the north to the Charlton Ford Cemetery near the banks of Fall Creek, these sites offer a significant record for genealogical research.

The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Suggs Creek and Hurricane Creek, which feed into the reservoir. Historical transit routes such as Stewarts Ferry Pike and Couchville Pike connect the interior farmland to the water's edge, where the Fate Sanders Boat Dock and Stewart Creek Boat Ramp provide modern access. This map documents a transition from traditional agricultural land use to more residential and recreational patterns while preserving the locations of numerous ancestral sites.
