1947 Map of Newsome Sinks

About this map

Wheeler Lake defines the northern edge of this landscape where the Tennessee River borders Madison and Marshall Counties. The terrain transitions from the water's edge at Clarksville Landing through a series of prominent elevations like Cedar Mountain and Pritchett Mountain. Human activity is centered around the Heart of Dixie Highway, which connects the small communities of Morgan City and Rescue. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks, including the Mt Tabor Ch and Pleasant Valley Church, alongside numerous family-named burial grounds such as Saints Cem and Polly Cem.
