About this map

The Tennessee River dominates this landscape north of Soddy-Daisy, carving a complex network of sloughs and prongs that define the local geography. Significant water features such as Sale Creek Shoals, Smith Slough, and Dallas Lake are flanked by prominent elevations like Parker Bluff and Hobo Bluff. This riverine environment facilitated a settlement pattern of small communities and residential developments including Shore Acres, Price Point, and Opossum Creek Pines.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds, such as McCallie Cem, Cookston Cem, and Gardenhire Cem, which are scattered among the ridges and creek valleys. The intricate system of inlets, including Grasshopper Creek and Possum Creek, shows the interplay between the highland terrain and the flooded river valley, providing a detailed look at the rural character of this portion of Hamilton County.
