About this map

Tims Ford Lake dominates the northeastern reaches of this Tennessee landscape, where the waters of the Elk River are held back by dams downstream. The intricate shoreline creates distinctive landforms like The Narrows and Cline Ridge, while the Tims Ford Bridges carry traffic across the reservoir. Away from the water, the terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Possumtrot Ridge and Hasty Hollow.

Family history is deeply etched into the countryside through dozens of burial grounds such as Union Grove Cem, Ashby Cem, and Marble Plains Cem. Small crossroads communities like Lexie Crossroads, Lois, and Marble Hill serve as local anchors. The map reveals the winding course of the Elk River south of the lake, featuring dramatic meanders at Vanzant Bend and Wiseman Bend alongside prominent overlooks like Edde Bluff.
