About this map

The Cumberland River carves a winding path through this portion of Tennessee, defining the character of the landscape through dramatic features like Bells Bend and Whites Bend. The river’s influence is evident in the numerous islands and bars such as Robertson Island and Gower Island, as well as the steep bluffs at McCord Bluff and Buzzard Bluff. This 2019 survey documents the suburban growth of Charlotte Park and West Meade in the southeast, contrasting with the more dispersed rural layout near Scottsboro and Ashland City further west.

Industrial and aviation development is concentrated within the river loops, notably at Cockrill Bend which houses the John C Tune Airport. In the surrounding hills, a network of hollows like Tidwell Hollow and Sherrell Hollow shape the local drainage into creeks such as Bull Run and Sulphur Creek. This map offers a clear view of the modern infrastructure and residential expansion that has transformed the valley since its earlier agricultural and river-trading eras.
