2013 Map of Bedford

About this map

The Duck River winds through the northeast corner of this central Tennessee landscape, anchored by the settlement of Bedford and the crossroads at Pleasant Grove. The terrain is defined by a series of branching drainages and hollows, including Adams Hollow and Bluestocking Hollow, where small creeks like Sugar Cr and Powell Cr have carved the agricultural land. Local infrastructure is evidenced by the Pleasant Grove Airpark and historical crossing points such as Temple Ford and Sims Bridge. Toward the southern edge, the map identifies the adjacent communities of Richmond and Branchville, revealing a pattern of rural development where family farms and ranches, including Chanthaphone Farm and Rising Star Ranch, are situated along a network of established local roads. This survey illustrates the persistence of small-scale agriculture and regional aviation in the Bedford County countryside during the early 21st century.
