2019 Map of Topsy

About this map

Buffalo River meanders through this portion of the Tennessee Highland Rim, carving deep bends like Bachelor Bend and Johnson Bend. The settlement patterns here are defined by the tight topography of the hollows, with family-named cemeteries such as Beatty Cem, Skelton Cem, and Hollabaugh Cem serving as vital markers for local genealogical research. In the southern reach, Moccasin sits near the confluence of Moccasin Cr and E Prong Moccasin Cr, while the village of Topsy remains a central landmark along the Topsy-Hohenwald Rd. The map also captures several distinctive natural and built features, including the The Court House landmark near Rainbow Lake, and numerous springs like Cave Spring and Spout Spring that suggest the karst-influenced hydrology of Wayne and Lewis counties.
