2010 Map of Gordonsville

About this map

The Cumberland River and Caney Fork define the landscape of this Middle Tennessee region, converging near South Carthage and Old Hickory Lake. The terrain is marked by dramatic river bends such as Boulton Bend and Hell Bend, alongside distinctive heights like Winfree Knob. Industrial and infrastructure development is evident through the Jersey Miniery Zinc Company Dam, which created the Jersey Miniery Zinc Company Lake, and major crossings like the Benton McMillian Memorial Bridge. For genealogists, the map is a dense record of family history, naming over twenty burial grounds including the Coffee Cemetery, Gordonsville Cemetery, and Waggoner Cemetery. Local commerce centers around the Gordonsville Post Office and Elmwood Post Office, while the surrounding hollows like Trousdale Hollow and Condit Hollow preserve the names of early settler families.
