2010 Map of Martin

About this map

Martin serves as the focal point of this Northwest Tennessee landscape, where the University of Tennessee campus and urban expansion meet a rural agricultural periphery. The map is notably dense with burial grounds, including the Yellow Fever Cemetery, a poignant reminder of past epidemics in the region. Other significant family and community plots such as Dibrell Cemetery, Rice-Underwood Cemetery, and Old Salem Cemetery are scattered throughout the countryside, offering deep genealogical value. Water management is a defining characteristic of the terrain, visible through the series of reservoirs and dams along Mud Creek, including Mud Creek Watershed Lake Five and Mud Creek Watershed Lake Fifteen. These engineered lakes, alongside W F Baker Lake and Randolph Lake, illustrate the region's historical efforts to control drainage and provide local recreation.
