2016 Map of Twin Bridges

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau landscape defines this section of the Tennessee highlands, where small communities like Deer Lodge and High Point are connected by a web of local roads such as Deer Lodge HWY and Nashville Ave. Settlement patterns are closely tied to the complex drainage systems of White Creek and Cook Creek, with many family names preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered throughout the hills. Genealogists may find value in the locations of the Meister Hill Cem, Branstetters Cem, and Myers Cem. The southern edge of the map features the protected corridor of the Obed Wild and Scenic River, contrasting with the more developed areas near Adkins Mill. Landmarks such as Twin Bridges and the Lavender Bridge indicate established crossings over the region's many winding branches and creeks.
