2010 Map of Sardis

About this map

Sardis serves as the central hub for this portion of Henderson County, situated at a crossroad where several rural routes converge. The landscape is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, such as Edge Cemetery and Old Salem Cemetery, which reflect the generations of families that have farmed this terrain. Water management is a significant feature of the local topography, evidenced by the presence of the Claiborne Wells Dam and channelized waterways like the Middleton Creek Canal and Alexander Creek Canal. These drainage projects intersect with natural flows like Big Hurricane Creek and Brooks Creek, shaping the agricultural character of the region. To the east, Presley Ridge provides a distinct change in elevation, while the surrounding roads, including Marls Bluff Rd and Wake Forest Rd, connect the scattered homesteads and private cemeteries that mark the rural heritage of Tennessee.
