2013 Map of Needmore

About this map

Lake Barkley dominates this part of Tennessee, where the Cumberland River valley is characterized by complex topography and numerous family-named landmarks. The settlement of Needmore sits inland, connected by a network of rural roads such as Sugar Creek Rd and Poplar Springs Rd. Along the shoreline, historical river access points like York Landing, Collier Landing, and Sailors Rest indicate the area's long-standing reliance on water transport. The landscape is deeply incised by countless hollows, including Thomaston Hollow, Isaiah Hollow, and Jarman Hollow, which define the drainage patterns into Yellow Creek and Bear Creek. To the east, the settlement of Corbandale and the heights of Flint Ridge provide further orientation within this varied terrain. Smaller communities like Stringtown and Tarsus are linked to the river economy, while the Yellow Creek Tow Head stands as a prominent feature within the broad expanse of the lake.
