2010 Map of Long Branch

About this map

Shoal Creek and its many winding tributaries, including Knob Creek and Long Branch, define the rural geography of this portion of Tennessee. The landscape is notably marked by an extensive network of family and community burial grounds, such as Mount Zion Cemetery, Ander Smith Cemetery, and Luna Cemetery, which are often located near the junctions of country roads like Waterloo Rd and Rigsby Rd. Local topography is characterized by distinct hollows, including Limekiln Hollow and Drake Hollow, where the terrain dips toward the drainage basins. Small-scale impoundments like Bennett Lake, held by the Bennett Lake Dam, illustrate the local management of water resources in a region primarily defined by its hydrology and the enduring presence of these established family landmarks.
