About this map

The Cumberland River carves through this portion of Montgomery County, defining the local landscape and commerce through historic river access points. Strategic riverside locations such as Acree Landing, Bud Martins Landing, and Haynes Landing signify a heritage of water-based transport and fishing, while Martins Shoal and Sall Martins Bar indicate the river's natural navigation challenges.

Settlement patterns in 2013 remain tied to the river's path, with communities like Palmyra, Hematite, and Cumberland Heights established along the bluffs and valley floors. Further inland, the terrain is marked by hollows such as Sawmill Hollow and Baggett Hollow, where smaller water bodies like Antioch Cr and Deason Cr drain toward the main channel. Rural life is anchored by dispersed settlements like Canaan, Oakridge, and Cunningham, connected by a network of local roads named for early families.
