About this map

Cedar Creek Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2020 survey, its branching fingers reaching into the surrounding hollows of Franklin and Colbert Counties. The settlement pattern is defined by rural road networks like Co RD 33 and Coondog Cemetery Rd, which connect isolated communities and family burial grounds. These cemeteries, including Pleasant Grove Cem and Bolton Cem, serve as critical markers of local lineage across the terrain.

The presence of infrastructure such as the TVA Cedar Creek Dam Rd and crossings like Thorn Bridge and Burgess Bridge highlight the managed nature of the local hydrology. North of the reservoir, the small settlements of Pleasant Grove and White Oak anchor the upland areas, surrounded by numerous small drainage creeks such as Smelser Spring Br and Beech Lick Br that flow toward the larger reservoir basin.
