2014 Map of Sumpter

About this map

Sumpter and the small hamlets of Mannstown and Simpson define the rural landscape of Bradley County in this detailed survey. The area is characterized by a series of small, winding tributaries such as Snake Cr and Little Snake Cr that feed into the larger Saline River along the eastern border. This drainage pattern shaped the early settlement of the region, as evidenced by the distribution of family and community landmarks like Pattsville and Smearny. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds, including Hickory Springs Cem, Mt Olive Cem, and the Smearny Cem. The network of local routes like Bradley 33 Rd and Bradley 122 Rd provides a clear view of the rural infrastructure connecting these timber and agricultural communities near the Drew County line.
