About this map

Belleville and the surrounding Lincoln County highlands are defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges where the border of Bedford and Marshall counties meet. The landscape is dense with small family burial grounds, such as the Ashby-Warden-Groce Cem and McGee-Waggoner Cem, reflecting a long history of local kinship and rural settlement. Many of these sites are tucked away in the geographic folds of the terrain, including Epps Hollow and Stoneborough Hollow.

Waterways like Norris Cr and Little Cane Cr have historically guided the placement of roads and homesteads. High points such as Chestnut Ridge and Stamp Hill overlook a patchwork of creek branches like Hannah Gap Br and Ashland Br. The winding path of Old Petersburg Pike and the tight topography at The Narrows show how the natural environment has dictated transportation and land use in this part of Tennessee.
