1946 Map of Smartt Mountain

About this map

Bellview Ch stands at the northern edge of this highland landscape, where the plateau surface is dissected by deep drainage systems. The Cumberland Plateau dominates the geography, characterized by prominent elevations such as Smartt Mtn and Hitchcox Mtn that define the local skyline. The area is marked by a complex network of headwater streams including Samples Fork, Glady Fork, and the Rocky River, which carve through the terrain to shape the Tennessee Valley watershed. Local history is etched into the land at the Jordan Rock House and small family burial grounds like Walling Cem and Miller Cem. Distinctive landmarks such as the Green Sea and Whiteoak Swamps reflect a topography of varying elevations and drainage patterns, illustrating how early residents navigated the ridges of the Divide.
