About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates this Tennessee landscape, its intricate shoreline winding through the intersecting boundaries of DeKalb, Putnam, and White Counties. The reservoir has transformed the local geography, creating complex peninsulas like Vickers Ridge and isolated features such as Davies Island. Elevated terrain remains a defining characteristic of the area, with prominent landmarks like Harris Bluff and Medley Ridge overlooking the water.

Settlement patterns follow the high ground and ridgelines, connecting rural communities such as Silver Point, Cherry Hill, and Nash. For genealogists, the map preserves numerous family-named burial sites including Judd Cem, Nash Cem, and Martin Cem. The transition from old road networks to modern infrastructure is evident where the highway crosses Hurricane Bridge and passes the narrow passage known as The Narrows, reflecting the area's adaptation to its modern hydrographic reality.
