About this map

Missionary Ridge stands as a prominent geographic spine across this Tennessee landscape, where the Tennessee Valley Divide separates local drainages. The area is characterized by a high density of family cemeteries and historic church sites, including Missionary Ridge Ch and Cedar Hill Cem, reflecting generations of rural settlement. The community of Bon Aqua is notable for its namesake Bon Aqua Springs, which historically anchored the local geography alongside the newer hub at Bon Aqua Junction.

Industrial and social footprints are visible at Wrigley and Lyles, while the terrain is deeply etched by named hollows such as Potts Hollow and Cave Hollow. Waterways like Parker Cr and Barren Fork wind through the topography, feeding into localized landmarks like Cedar Crest Camp Lake. This survey captures the intricate network of local roads and switchbacks, such as Tidwell Switch Rd, that connect these historically separate settlements and family farmsteads.
