2011 Map of Silver Ridge

About this map

The Saline River corridor dominates this Sevier County landscape, creating a network of riparian crossings and agricultural settlements at the start of the 21st century. River access remains central to the area's geography, evidenced by historical crossing points like Murphy Ford in the north and Saltworks Ford to the south. The small communities of Silver Ridge and Milford serve as local anchors, connected by a grid of rural routes including Silver Ridge Rd and Milford Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies several distinct burial grounds, such as Mount Carmen Cemetery, Coulter Cemetery, and Kingree Chapel Cemetery, which provide clues to family settlement patterns in the vicinity of Steele Hill. Numerous tributaries including Sand Creek, Brushy Creek, and Prairie Creek carve through the terrain, illustrating the complex drainage system feeding into the main river channel.
