About this map

The Cumberland River bisects this portion of Montgomery County, shaping the settlement patterns and topography from Dotsonville in the northwest down to Cunningham in the southeast. This landscape is defined by the sharp bends of the river, where navigational landmarks like Sall Martins Bar and Martins Shoal sit just below the bluffs of Cumberland Heights. The interior terrain is heavily dissected by drainages such as Antioch Cr and Deason Cr, creating a network of ridges where local communities like Antioch, Oakridge, and Hematite are situated.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites across this quadrangle. Numerous cemeteries, including the Norris Cem, Robert Yarbrough Cem, and Wickham Cem, are found near old church sites like the Dotsonville Baptist Church Cem. The road network, including Old Metal Rd and Dotsonville Rd, connects these scattered settlements, tracing the high ground between hollows like Sawmill Hollow and Baggett Hollow.
