1950 Map of Stewart

About this map

Stewart and Tennessee Ridge anchor this survey of the northern Tennessee uplands, where the Louisville and Nashville railroad cuts a corridor across the rugged Tennessee Ridge Valley Divide. The landscape is defined by its numerous small-scale family landmarks, including the Collier, Burcham, and McIntosh cemeteries, which dot the hollows surrounding the major water systems of Cane Creek and Hurricane Creek. Near the southern boundary, the waters of Kentucky Lake and Whiteoak Creek provide a distinct contrast to the forested ridges of the north.
