About this map

White House serves as a primary hub of settlement in this northern Tennessee landscape, where the White House Post Office sits amid a network of family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds. The terrain is defined by a complex drainage system, including the Sulphur Fork Red River and Drakes Creek, which carve out numerous distinct landforms such as The Narrows and Sugar Camp Hill. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific sites including the Jernigan Cemetery, Strickland Cemetery, and Latimer-Johnson Cemetery, reflecting generations of local residency.

Transportation patterns are anchored by the north-south corridor of HWY 31 W, while the surrounding countryside is characterized by numerous hollows like Echo Hollow, McMurtry Hollow, and Turpin Hollow. This survey provides a clear view of the area's transition from the concentrated township at White House to the more dispersed settlement at Oakdale, documenting the names of smaller roads like Savage Branch Rd and Pleasant Grove Rd that connect these rural communities.
