About this map

The Sequatchie River winds through this 2019 survey of Marion County, Tennessee, tracing the fertile Sequatchie Valley between the dramatic elevations of the Cumberland Plateau. The map highlights a landscape deeply shaped by its topography, where settlements like Whitwell and Victoria developed along the valley floor while the western portion is dominated by intricate coves including Little Sequatchie Cove and Coppinger Cove. Local history is preserved through a high density of small family and community burial grounds, such as Price Cem, Walker Cem, and the Kilgore Family Cem.

Significant landmarks like Ketner Mill and Ketners Bridge near the southern boundary denote long-standing crossing points and industrial sites on the river. The complex drainage network, featuring Little Sequatchie River and Pocket Cr, illustrates the water-driven geography of the region. This modern topographic record captures the transition from high plateau points like Davis Point and Lick Point down to the established rural communities and crossroads that define the valley floor.
