About this map

Stewart and Tennessee Ridge anchor this detailed study of the Tennessee countryside along the boundary of Stewart and Houston counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows, such as French Hollow, Burcham Hollow, and Sugarcamp Hollow, which dictate the placement of early settlements and family cemeteries. These burial grounds, including Weaks Cem, Alsup Cem, and the Gray - Barnes Cem, are often located on the ridges or at the head of hollows, providing essential data for genealogists tracing regional family lineages.

Waterways like Cane Cr, Hurricane Cr, and Whiteoak Creek provide the drainage for this dissected plateau. The map details the local infrastructure, from established routes like Old Hwy 18 to localized landmarks such as Express Bluff and Cooley Hill. The settlement pattern at Magnolia and Grays Crossing reflects the historic reliance on the valley floors and proximity to spring sources like Largent Spring and Spout Spring.
