2016 Map of Waterview

About this map

Marrowbone Creek and the meandering Cumberland River define the physical and social geography of this section of Cumberland County. Small agricultural settlements like Waterview, Grider, and Leslie are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the winding valley floors between high ridges such as Rocky Point Ridge and Bull Ridge. The river's influence is evident in the naming of landmarks like Salt Lick Bend and Cloyds Landing, points that historically served as vital touchpoints for river traffic and local trade. Genealogists can locate several family-named burial sites across the landscape, including Branham Cem, Ellington Cem, and Newby Cem. The proximity of Burkesville at the eastern edge suggests the regional importance of these outlying communities as part of the broader river-valley economy.
