2019 Map of Pilot Mountain

About this map

Sunbright and Annadel anchor this survey of the Cumberland Plateau in Morgan County. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses and ridges, including Buck Ridge and Pea Ridge, which separate the various branches of Rock Creek and White Oak Cr. The southern edge of the map is protected by the Obed Wild and Scenic River, where the terrain drops sharply toward the river corridor. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named landmarks and burial sites, ranging from the Taylor Cem in the north to the Davidson / Forstner Cem near the southern boundary. These small cemeteries, often associated with specific lineages or local congregations like Stringfield Chapel Cem, provide a precise spatial record of settlement patterns across this portion of the Tennessee highlands.
