About this map

Taft and Coldwater anchor this corner of Lincoln County, where the landscape is defined by the winding Elk River and a dense network of hollows that speak to generations of rural life. The terrain is deeply carved, featuring many family-named landmarks such as Thompson Hollow, Robinson Hollow, and Ballard Hollow. These geographic depressions, often associated with small watercourses like Coldwater Cr and Molino Cr, traditionally dictated the placement of homesteads and roads in this part of Tennessee.

Industry and transport are reflected in names like Stillhouse Hollow and historic crossings such as Hobbs Bridge and Sumners Bridge. Small rural centers including Camargo, Molino, and Kirkland are connected by a web of local roads, while Brier Fork Flint River drains the southeastern portion of the quadrangle. This 2013 survey provides a detailed view of the modern road names and land divisions that persist in these traditional agricultural communities.
