About this map

Cross Roads and the surrounding Stewart County countryside are defined by a complex network of narrow hollows and creeks feeding into major waterways like Cane Cr and Whiteoak Cr. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape where small settlements like Stewart and Tennessee Ridge are tucked between ridges, while family names are etched into the terrain through features such as Burcham Hollow, Alsup Hollow, and Weaks Hollow.

Transport and water access are central to the area's layout, with Grays Crossing and various fords like Cooley Ford and the Crosswell Ford Bridge providing essential crossings. The presence of numerous natural springs, including Largent Spring, McAskill Spring, and Flat Spring, points to the historic importance of reliable water sources for these rural Tennessee communities. The southern portion of the map near Magnolia shows the headwaters of Long Br and North Fork Long Br, demonstrating the intricate drainage patterns of the Western Highland Rim.
