About this map

Portland anchors this north-central Tennessee landscape, situated along the Highland Rim Terrace just south of the Kentucky border. The area is defined by a network of small agricultural and residential hubs such as New Deal, Chestnut Grove, and Scattersville. Waterways including the Red River and its various tributaries like Austin Br and Summers Br drain the territory, while man-made landmarks such as Phillip Bradshaw Lake and Willow Lake punctuate the drainage basins.

Transport routes like Old Highway 31 W and Tennessee State Routes 52 and 109 connect the outlying settlements of Reubensville, Mulloy, and Hall Town. The topography is relatively gentle, though features like Belcher Hollow indicate the beginning of more varied relief. Local genealogists may find value in the specific road network, which preserves family-named routes such as Groves Cemetery Rd and Byrums Chapel Rd, pointing toward the longstanding social fabric of these rural communities.
