About this map

The Tennessee River and Watts Bar Lake dominate the western edge of this landscape, defining the character of the border between Rhea and Meigs Counties. Inland, the community of Ten Mile serves as a central point for the surrounding ridge and valley systems, including the prominent Ten Mile Ridge and Hurricane Ridge. The settlement pattern is deeply rooted in local family history, as evidenced by a high density of small cemeteries such as Hornsby Chapel Cem, Old Pleasant Hill Cem, and Mount Wesley Cem.

Infrastructure like Red Cloud Rd and Waterside Dr suggests modern residential growth around Watts Bar Estates and Half Moon Shores, yet the map retains significant evidence of older rural networks. In the south, Akeman Crossroads and Pleasant Hill remain quiet landmarks, while the terrain's complexity is revealed through named hollows like Womac Hollow and Woolsey Hollow. The distribution of Keylon Springs and Sensaboy Spring highlights the importance of natural water sources in this part of the Tennessee Valley.
