About this map

Graysville and Dayton sit at the intersection of a complex valley landscape where the eastern escarpment of the Cumberland Plateau meets the Tennessee River valley. The terrain is defined by a series of parallel ridges and hollows, including Elsea Ridge, Bean Ridge, and Ellis Ridge, which channel the flow of Sale Creek and Richland Creek toward the reservoir system. The map documents the residential and educational development of the area, featuring College Hill, Bryan Hill, and Mountain View near the northern edge of the sheet.

Water-based industry and recreation are evident along the shoreline of Dallas Lake, where the Dougherty Ferry Bridge and Harbor Lights Boat Dock facilitate access. Smaller, family-named landmarks like McDonald Hollow, Maley Hollow, and Aslinger Hollow provide essential points of reference for genealogists and local historians tracking family footprints through the hollows of Rhea and Hamilton counties.
