About this map

Short Mountain and the surrounding Highland Rim topography dominate this 2010 survey of the border between Cannon and Warren Counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where the prominent peak rises above named hollows like Mason Hollow and Johnson Hollow. This area is dense with small family cemeteries that offer significant value for genealogical research, including the Grizzle-Gunter Cemetery near the Gap of the Mountain and the Tucker Cemetery in the southern reaches.

Water systems flow outward from the central high ground, with Charles Creek and the East Fork Stones River draining the valleys. Local landmarks such as Osment Chapel and Vinson Cross Roads indicate the long-standing centers of community life in this rural Tennessee landscape. The mapping of Rainbow Falls and numerous branches like Shanborne Branch illustrates a terrain rich with springs and narrow drainages.
