2016 Map of Bedford

About this map

The small community of Bedford serves as a central hub in this rural landscape south of the Duck River, characterized by a dense concentration of family cemeteries and established agricultural settlements. In the southern reach of the map, Richmond and Branchville anchor a region where the terrain transitions toward Davidson Hill, with drainage provided by the winding Sinking Creek. The presence of numerous burial grounds, such as Stephenson Cem and the Porter-Cortner Cem, offers significant detail for genealogical research, documenting the long-standing family ties to this portion of Bedford County. Aviation interest is noted at the Pleasant Grove Airpark near Pleasant Grove, while the surrounding road network, including John Pickle Rd and Gant Rd, reveals the enduring spatial organization of these Middle Tennessee communities.
