About this map

Lake Tansi serves as a modern focal point in this portion of Cumberland County, where residential development is marked by a distinctive network of themed roads like Cherokee Trl and Chickasaw Dr. To the south, the landscape shifts toward older rural clusters such as Vandever and Nicholson Heights, revealing a transition from recreational water-front planning to traditional upland agriculture. This area is deeply etched by the drainage of Daddys Cr and Lick Cr, which carve through the plateau toward the dramatic relief of the Sequatchie River valley.

Local history and genealogy researchers can locate several established communities including Oak Grove, New Era, and Big Lick. The southeastern corner of the map captures the significant elevation changes of the Cumberland Escarpment, featuring landmarks like Blalock Knob and the geological formation at the Head of Sequatchie. Natural water sources such as Stacy Spring and Manning Spring highlight the hydrologic importance of this ridge-and-valley transition.
