About this map

Chickamauga Lake and the Tennessee River define the northwestern edge of this landscape, where the waters meet the foot of Cotton Port Ridge. Inland, the terrain is dominated by the parallel ridges of No Pone Ridge and McMinn Ridge, which create a series of sheltered valleys such as No Pone Valley. The settlement at Goodfield serves as a central point, supported by community institutions like Bethsaida Ch and the Cedar Valley Sch.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and resting places, including the Howser Cem, Percy Cem, and Melton Cem. The presence of numerous springs, such as Short Creek Spring and Goforth Spring, illustrates the historical reliance on local water sources before modern infrastructure. The map also highlights conservation efforts with the Cotton Port Wildlife Management Area and Rogers Creek Wildlife Management Area preserved along the river and ridges.
