2016 Map of Beaverdam Springs

About this map

Beaverdam Springs and Hornertown anchor this rural landscape in western Middle Tennessee, where the Hickman Co and Lewis Co border cuts through a dense network of hollows and ridges. The terrain is deeply carved by water, defined by the winding course of the Duck River at Shipp Bend and several significant tributaries including Beaverdam Cr, Sulphur Fork, and Piney Fork. Numerous family cemeteries such as Horner Cem, Milam Cem, and Chandler Cem are found near historical crossroads, suggesting long-standing family ties to the land. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, with community life historically centered around places like Aetna and Crossroads. Significant topographical features like Peters Ridge and Shelving Rock Hollow dominate the vertical relief, illustrating the classic ridge-and-valley geography of the Highland Rim.
