About this map

Scottsville anchors the northern edge of this landscape, where the town grid transitions into a deeply dissected terrain defined by the winding course of Trammel Cr and its many tributaries. The area reflects a classic borderland character, with the Kentucky-Tennessee state line and various county boundaries including Allen and Sumner counties cutting across the hills.

Smaller settlements and named locales like Rodemer, Petroleum, and Forest Springs are scattered along the ridge-top roads and narrow valleys. For those researching local family history, the map identifies several burial sites, including Wolf Cem and Nancy Cem, as well as the Old Carter Cem near Barefoot. The drainage patterns are intricate, featuring named hollows like Cider Press Hollow and Wagoner Hollow, alongside significant water sources such as Steenbergen Spring.
