2022 Map of Palmer Shelter

About this map

Huntingdon and the surrounding Carroll County countryside are defined by a complex network of tributaries feeding into Beaver Cr and Reedy Cr. This landscape is marked by the Tennessee Valley Divide, where small settlements like Clarksburg, Leach, and Tate evolved along ridges and creek crossings. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burying grounds, including Palmer Shelter Cem, Antioch Cem, and Sellers Hill Cem, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the north, the Huntingdon Airport and Ernest Vickers Lake stand near the modern road network, while the southern reaches near Poplar Springs show the persistent rural character of the region. The numerous named branches, such as Butler Br and Northwood Br, illustrate the intricate drainage patterns that have historically influenced land use and farm placement throughout this Tennessee valley.
