About this map

The Obed Wild And Scenic River carves a deep, winding path through the high terrain of the Cumberland Plateau in this 2016 survey. This landscape is defined by the dramatic confluence of Clear Creek and the Obed River, where the Lilly Bridge and Nemo Bridge provide vital crossings. The settlement of Lancing sits on the northern edge of this complex topography, while smaller locales like Nemo and Catoosa are positioned near the riverbanks.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the ridges, including Canady Cem, Howard Cem, and Nitzschke Cem. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Crab Orchard Mountains, rising above drainage systems like Island Creek and Emory River. This record highlights the enduring rural character of Morgan County, where historical mill sites like Howard Mill stand alongside protected wilderness areas.
