2010 Map of Bedford

About this map

Duck River and its numerous tributaries, including Sinking Creek and Sugar Creek, define the topography of this section of Bedford County. The landscape is marked by a dense concentration of family and community burial grounds, such as Stephenson Cemetery, Whitesell-Wilhoite Cemetery, and the Barrett-Carlisle Cemetery, suggesting a deeply rooted rural population. Transportation is facilitated by a network of established routes like Fishing Ford Pike and Bethlehem Church Rd, which link the various hollers and ridge communities. Significant local landmarks like Temple Ford indicate historic crossing points along the river, while geographical features like Adams Hollow and Renegar Hollow provide insight into the local terrain. The distribution of sites like Moore Chapel Cemetery and New Bethel Cemetery further illustrates the social and spiritual hubs that have anchored this Tennessee community through the early 21st century.
