2022 Map of Robbins

About this map

The Southern railroad corridor dictates the settlement pattern of this Tennessee landscape, threading through the communities of Robbins, West Robbins, Elgin, and Glenmary. The terrain is defined by deep incisions like Brickyard Hollow and Oilwell Hollow, reflecting an industrial history tied to extraction and manufacturing. Numerous family and community burial grounds, including the Lewallen, Sexton, and Campground cemeteries, are scattered across the ridges and hollows, providing a dense record of local lineage. In the southern portion of the map, the boundary between Scott and Morgan counties crosses Mill Creek, where landmarks like Chaney and Sumner cemeteries sit near the waters of Mill Creek. The map documents a complex network of named ridges such as Brimstone Ridge and Schoolhouse Ridge, alongside isolated features like Burnt House Spring, which point to earlier homesteads and the rural economy of this Cumberland Plateau region.
