About this map

Beech Grove Confederate Cem sits near the headwaters of the Garrison Fork, marking a landscape deeply rooted in Tennessee history where the borders of Coffee, Cannon, Rutherford, and Bedford counties converge. This highland region is defined by a dense network of family-named hollows and ridges, such as Bynum Hollow and Douglas Ridge, which historically dictated the placement of small rural settlements like Gossburg and Hoodoo. The map reveals a high concentration of pioneer and family burial grounds, including the Thyatira Cem and Green and Douglas Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this part of the Highland Rim.

Water plays a central role in the topography, with the Duck River and its numerous tributaries like Brawleys Fork carving through the terrain. The transition from the established community of Bradyville in the north to the more modern residential development of Lakewood Park in the southeast illustrates the evolution of land use in the area. This survey provides a clear view of the winding mountain roads, such as Stonewall Pike and Bradyville Pike, that follow the natural contours of the ridges and valley floors.
