About this map

Loosahatchie Bottom and its namesake canal system define the low-lying geography of this Tennessee landscape. This 2022 survey reveals a rural territory where water management is paramount, visible in the straightening of natural drainages into the Loosahatchie River Canal, Laurel Cr Canal, and Little Cypress Cr Canal. These engineered waterways cut through substantial wetlands and floodplain bottoms, including Treadville Bottom and Cypress Bottom, separating the higher ground where small settlements and family plots remain.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered across the terrain. From the Belmont Christian Methodist Episcopal Church Cem in the northwest to the Stafford Cem near Griffen, these sites offer vital links to the area's ancestral residents. The map captures the quiet transition of places like Lambert and Moorman, documenting the road network from Old Fifty-Nine Dr to Old L and N Way that connects the community to the northern outskirts of Somerville.
