About this map

Orlinda and Cross Plains anchor this Robertson County landscape, where the headwaters of the Red River and the South Fork Red River carve a network of ridges and hollows. The area is defined by a dense concentration of family burial grounds and small rural settlements like Handleyton, Jernigan Town, and Covington Hill. This survey reveals a deeply established agricultural community, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries named for local families including Traughber, Crocker, and Samuel-Fisher.

Transport routes like the Elm Springs Road and Cross Plains Road connect the dispersed farmsteads across the undulating terrain. Significant landmarks such as Empson Bridge and Cherry Mt Hill provide vertical orientation within the drainage basins of Honey Run and Empson Branch. The eastern edge of the quadrangle follows the Robertson and Sumner county line, capturing the transition between these two historic Tennessee districts.
