About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this portion of Montgomery County, defining the landscape between Palmyra and the western edges of Clarksville. This 2019 survey documents a region where modern rural road networks intersect with a deep history of family landholdings, visible through the high density of small cemeteries scattered across the hollows. Settlements like Dotsonville, Cumberland Heights, and Antioch anchor the higher ground, while the river's influence is marked by landmarks such as Sally Martins Bar and Martins Shoal.

The complex drainage system of the area is evident in the many creeks and branches feeding the Cumberland, including Antioch Cr, Budds Cr, and Goldenhorn Cr. For local historians and genealogists, the map is a vital record of legacy sites, from Hematite and Hackberry to numerous family burial grounds like Jackson Cem and Wickham Cem, which remain as quiet indicators of the area's agricultural and industrial heritage.
