About this map

Rutherford Creek and its many tributaries, including McCutcheon Creek, Aenon Creek, and Double Branch, define the rural character of this northern Maury County landscape during the mid-1930s. The Tennessee Valley Authority and USGS collaborated on this examination, documenting a community dense with country schools and churches. Prominent landmarks such as Greens Mill and the Lanton Cem sit near the crossroads of Lanton Sch, reflecting the local social centers of the era.

Transportation corridors like the Louisville and Nashville Railroad and U.S. Highway No 31 connect the established settlements of Spring Hill and Carters Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the border between Williamson and Maury counties, marking family-named sites like Buford Cem and Caldwell Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this Tennessee river valley region.
