About this map

Hebbertsburg and Frankfort anchor this 1940s landscape where the Obed River carves a winding path through the borderlands of Morgan and Cumberland counties. The map captures a rural network of community life before modern infrastructure, marked by the presence of local centers like Potter Chapel Sch and Frankfort Sch. Significant topographic prominence is found at Pilot Knob, topped by the Pilot Knob Lookout Tower, providing a strategic view over Peavine Mountain and Hawn Ridge.

River crossings define the movement through this terrain, from the Mouth of Yellow Creek Ford to Potter Ford and the Waltman Ford Bridge. The intricate drainage system, including Daddy Creek and Clear Creek, suggests a landscape defined by deep ridges and small-scale agriculture. Genealogists may find value in the named branches and family-associated landmarks, such as Hickman Spr and Qualls Spring Br, which locate early Tennessee homesteads.
