About this map

Center Hill Lake dominates this Tennessee landscape, where the inundated valleys of Little Indian Cr and Mine Lick Cr create a complex shoreline punctuated by prominent features like Davies Island and The Narrows. The terrain is characterized by a series of ridges and hollows, such as Medley Ridge and Burton Hollow, that have shaped the local road network and settlement patterns. Small communities like Silver Point, Cherry Hill, and Williams Crossroads serve as anchor points across the undulating topography of Putnam and DeKalb counties.

Family history is deeply etched into the land through numerous small burial sites, including Judd Cem and Nash Cem, often located near their namesake ridges or hollows. The transition from the high ground of Goff Ridge to the lake's edge reveals the significant impact of the local dam system on this region's geography, preserving a moment where modern infrastructure meets long-standing rural settlements.
