About this map

The Cumberland Plateau defines the landscape of this Tennessee region, where the drainages of White Creek and Cook Creek have carved a complex network of ridges and hollows. Small upland settlements such as Stowers, Glades, and Bucklick are connected by narrow roads and family-named trails, reflecting a rural history deeply tied to the terrain. Near the community of Deer Lodge, the topography levels out slightly before dropping into the protected lands of the Obed Wild And Scenic River at the southern margin.

Local history is preserved in the numerous family and community burial grounds, including Meister Hill Cem, Adams Hill Cem, and Branstetters Cem. Engineering landmarks like the Lavender Bridge and the namesake Twin Bridge Road cross the many branches of the Obed river system. The map captures a moment in the 21st century where legacy industries and forestry remain visible alongside protected wilderness areas like the Obed Wild and Scenic River.
