2014 Map of New Home

About this map

Sand Mountain dominates the center of this tri-state region, where the borders of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia converge at a single point near Nickajack Lake. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Alley Gulf, Rattlesnake Gulf, and Richmond Gulf, which drop away from the high plateau. The settlement of Trenton sits in the valley at the southeast, while smaller communities such as New Home, Cole City, and Bryant occupy the higher elevations and ridge lines. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the landscape, from the Lake Hills Memorial Gardens near Trenton to family and community grounds like Ebenezer Cem, Porter Cem, and the State Line Cem. The complex drainage system including Cole City Creek and Running Water Creek highlights the intricate network of water that carved the numerous gulfs and hollows of this portion of the Cumberland Plateau.
