2013 Map of Baxter

About this map

Baxter serves as the primary hub in this central Tennessee landscape, where the town's grid meets the headwaters of Mine Lick Cr. The topography is defined by a dense network of ridges and hollows that historically dictated settlement patterns and road placements. To the north and west, smaller communities like Lafayette, Gentry, and Sadler are situated along winding routes such as Martin Creek Rd, following the natural contours of the land. High ground features like Goolsby Ridge and Bruce Ridge overlook a complex drainage system including Indian Cr and McBroom Br. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where family names are etched into the geography through landmarks like Hatfield Hollow and Carrington Hollow. The map provides a clear view of the transition from the concentrated residential streets of Baxter to the scattered homesteads of Boma and Union Hill.
