2019 Map of White City

About this map

The Cumberland Plateau dominates this portion of the Tennessee landscape, where the border of Grundy and Marion counties follows the high ridgelines above deeply recessed coves. Small upland communities like White City and Lankford Town are established along the flatter reaches of the plateau, while the settlement of Comfort lies at the base of the escarpment. The complex topography is defined by significant drainage systems including Gizzard Creek and the long, winding course of Big Fiery Gizzard Cr. Local history is preserved in sites such as Gregg Cem and Oak Grove Cem, while the historic transport network is visible in the route of the Old Stage Coach Rd. The area's verticality is highlighted by distinctive landmarks like Plummeting Springs and the numerous named points and coves that characterize this dissected plateau region.
