About this map

The Southern railroad corridor and the Walton Road define the northern and eastern edges of this Tennessee landscape, where the Cumberland, Roane, and Rhea county lines converge. Small settlements like Roddy and Westel are situated along these transit lines, while the interior terrain is marked by the steep relief of the Escarpment and ridges such as Gibson Ridge and Hampton Ridge.

Genealogical interest is found in numerous family burial grounds including Brewer Cem, Kelley Cem, and Williams Cem. The map illustrates a transition in land use toward the southeast, where Apollo Shores and Newport Resort appear near the waters of Watts Bar Lake. Remote locations such as The Shinbone and Wildcat Hollow show the intricate drainage patterns of Mammys Creek and Big Creek, while local landmarks like Baker Bridge and the Boy Scout Memorial offer specific points of reference within the rural topography.
