About this map

Tenmile Creek and its many tributaries, including Templeton Fork and Bates Fork, carve through the high ridges of Washington and Greene Counties. This 2016 survey shows a landscape defined by small rural settlements and a dense network of family-named roads like Mounts Road and Highland Ridge Road. The area around Prosperity and Old Concord is dotted with several significant burial grounds, including Fairview Cemetery and Mount Zion Cemetery, which serve as vital markers for local genealogical research.

A notable landmark is the Day Covered Bridge, crossing Tenmile Creek near the settlement of Sparta. The terrain rises to its highest prominence at Point Lookout in the northeastern corner, overlooking Reservoir Number Four. From Green Hills down to West Union, the map reveals a persistent rural character where agriculture and topography dictate the placement of communities like Van Buren and Pleasant Grove.
