About this map

Tims Ford Lake dominates the northeastern landscape of this area, where the impounded waters reach into the valleys of Anderson Br and Damron Br at The Narrows. The rugged terrain of the Tennessee Highland Rim is etched by the Elk River as it winds through Wakefield Bend and Vanzant Bend. High ridges like Spencer Ridge and Reston Ridge separate the numerous hollows and creek beds, including Wet Prong Farris Cr and Goose Br.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history in the high density of rural burial grounds, such as Hawkersmith Cem, Tipps Cem, and Limbaugh Cem. Small communities and crossroads like Lois, Beech Hill, and Marble Hill are connected by a network of winding local roads, such as Dick McGee Rd and Waggoner Hollow Rd, illustrating a deeply established pattern of rural settlement and agriculture across the Moore and Franklin County line.
