2016 Map of Smithville

About this map

Smithville serves as the central hub of this DeKalb County landscape, where the plateau terrain is deeply carved by drainage systems like Fall Cr and Murphy Br. The town's layout is defined by its core cemeteries and civic landmarks, including the Smithville Town Cem and the nearby Smithville Municipal Airport. The map reveals a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as the DeKalb County Memorial Gardens Whorton Springs Cem and Lockhart Cem, which provide significant data points for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee. Surrounding the main settlement, smaller communities like Watkins, Blue Springs, and Keltonburg are connected by a network of rural roads that trace the ridges and hollows, including Snows Hill and Opossum Hollow, illustrating the enduring settlement patterns of the Highland Rim.
