About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through the high ground of the Cumberland Plateau, where the rugged terrain drops away into numerous hollows and creek beds. This 2016 survey documents a string of small settlements across the plateau, including Pleasant Hill, Claysville, and Browntown. The southern portion of the map is defined by the winding course of the Caney Fork and its tributaries like Clifty Cr, which flow through deep incisions in the landscape.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites including Johnson Stand Cem, Van Winkle Cem, and Neverfail Cem. The map reveals the historical industrial footprint of the region near West Mill and the former mining and rail communities of Clifty and Eastland. Notable elevation points like Officer Knob and Pilot Knob provide orientation across a landscape still heavily marked by timber tracks and rural roads such as Hiwassee RD and Poke Patch RD.
