About this map

The Calfkiller River winds southward through this 2016 survey of White County, anchoring the town of Sparta and its surrounding communities. The landscape is characterized by its distinct coves and peaks, where the valley floors of Blue Spring Cove and Bear Cove meet the rising elevations of Dibrell Mtn and Story Mtn. The settlement pattern reflects deep roots, with numerous small burial grounds such as the Old Sparta Cem and Snodgrass Cem marking family and community heritage sites across the terrain.

Infrastructure is well-defined by a network of local roads named for prominent families, including Richard Roberts Rd and Paul Golden Rd, which connect the outlying settlements of Yankeetown and Findlay. Water features like Wheats Curve Lake and Hickory Valley Br further illustrate the drainage patterns of this central Tennessee region, while the transition into Hickory Valley at the southeast corner reveals the complex topography that defines the local geography.
