About this map

The Flint River meanders through this portion of Madison County, providing a historical anchor for industry and transportation in the post-war era. Significant landmarks like the Bell Factory and McCaleb Mill at Three Forks reflect the early economic reliance on water power, while the Nashville and Chattanooga and Southern railroads mark the shift toward steam-powered commerce. This map preserves the traces of the Old Cherokee Boundary cutting across the landscape, alongside several federal military holdings including the McNutty Reservation and Wilson Reservation.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the scattered churches like Shiloh Ch and Morning Star Church to small family burial grounds such as Jordan Cem and McCrary Cem. Small communities like Maysville and Ryland are depicted with their surrounding schools and stores, including the St Clair Store and Riverton Sch. The terrain is defined by the prominent Berry Mountain and Nance Mountain, punctuated by numerous natural springs like Moore Spring and Acuff Spring.
