2022 Map of Short Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 2022About this map
Short Mountain and Mason Mountain dominate the topography of this Tennessee landscape where the borders of Cannon, DeKalb, and Warren counties converge. The high elevations are cut by a complex system of drainage, including the headwaters of Charles Creek and the East Fork Stones River. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted rural history, with small communities like Bratchers Crossroads and Center Hill connected by a network of winding roads. Numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Osment Cemetery and Grizzle Gunter Cemetery, are scattered across the ridges and hollows, providing valuable clues for genealogical research. Distinctive landmarks like Rainbow Falls and the Gap of the Mountain punctuate the terrain, while roads like Sally Parton Road and Taylor Women Road suggest a landscape shaped by local families and historic transit routes.
