About this map

Deer Lodge Academy stands as a focal point in this 1943 survey of the Tennessee highlands, revised in the late 1960s. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of White Creek and Clear Creek, which carve through the Morgan County and Cumberland County line. The settlement pattern is largely rural and dispersed, anchored by family-named landmarks such as Stowers and Twin Bridges.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history in the numerous burial grounds and spiritual centers, including Myers Cem, Mt Hope Cem, and Pleasant Green Ch. The presence of Adkins Mill and the White Ford crossing suggests the earlier importance of local milling and river navigation. Much of the southern terrain is preserved within the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, showing the transition of this rugged acreage into protected wilderness.
