2010 Map of Slayden

About this map

Stout Creek and Golden Creek weave through this landscape in Marshall County, which is defined by a dense network of local family-named cemeteries and rural roads. The concentration of burial sites like Isom Chapel Cemetery, Gatewood Cemetery, and Kimbrough Cemetery provides a clear view of the area's ancestral settlement patterns and the importance of church-centered communities. To the north, the Mill Pond and the Sand Flats suggest variations in the terrain and local water use near the Tennessee border. The map documents the rural infrastructure of the early 2000s, where named paths like Roberts Chapel Rd and Hurdle Club Rd connect dispersed homesteads across the drainage basins of the Little Coldwater Creek and Coldwater River.
