2010 Map of Greenbrier

About this map

Greenbrier and Ridgetop anchor this landscape along the Tennessee Highland Rim, where the headwaters of the Sulphur Fork Red River and North Fork Sycamore Creek carve a network of ridges and hollows. The settlement pattern is defined by traditional family holdings and small-scale water management, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries and dams found throughout the quadrangle. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including the Eidson Cemetery, Browing Cemetery, and Coggin Cemetery. The transition from rural farmland to residential communities is visible near the Springfield Memorial Gardens, while the rugged geography of the south is marked by features like Possum Trot Hollow and Ben Hollow. Local recreation is centered around impoundments like Greenbrier Lake and Ridgetop Lake, both held by small dams that reflect the mid-century engineering of the area.
