About this map

Montgomery Bell State Park anchors the eastern side of this Dickson County landscape, where the geography is defined by a dense network of hollows and small water bodies. The community of Burns sits centrally, established along the rail line near Railroad St and the headwaters of Beaverdam Cr. To the south and west, the terrain transitions into a series of named valleys and ridges, including Kaiser Hollow, Langford Hollow, and The Punch Bowl.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural burial sites documented, such as Clifton Cemetery Rd and Porter Cemetery Rd, which point to established family plots and community centers like Pomona and Tidwell. The presence of the Broadway Drive-In north of Burns provides a look at mid-century commercial culture surviving into the modern era, while numerous small lakes like John Duke Lake and Creech Hollow Lake illustrate the area's developed water resources.
