About this map

Deer Lodge Academy and the surrounding plateau terrain of the Tennessee Valley are captured here during a period of transition, with original 1943 field data supplemented by 1976 aerial revisions. The landscape is defined by the winding course of White Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Creek and Cook Creek. These waterways were central to local life, evidenced by named crossings like Lavender Bridge, Norris Ford, and White Ford.

Small rural settlements such as Twin Bridges, Stowers, and Glades are scattered throughout the quadrangle, often anchored by community landmarks like Pine Grove Ch and Flat Rock Ch. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds, including Lavender Cem, Branstetter Cem, and Howard Cem. The southwestern portion of the map shows the rugged borders of the Catoosa Wildlife Management Area, where the terrain drops toward the Cumberland County line.
