About this map

Centertown serves as the central hub of this Middle Tennessee landscape, where a dense network of local roads radiates into the surrounding rural communities. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of the Barren Fork and its various tributaries, including the N Prong Barren Fork and S Prong Barren Fork. These waterways have historically shaped the settlement patterns of towns like Oak Grove, Trousdale, and Pleasant View.

Distinctive geological features such as Starkey Rock, Smoot Bluff, and Ivy Bluff rise above the drainage basins, providing landmarks for local residents. The map captures an era of established small-town infrastructure, showcasing the transition from more densely populated crossroads like Clearmont and Bates Hill to the wetlands of De Berry Swamp. For those researching local lineages, the abundance of family-named roads and rural spring sites like Crisp Spring offers a detailed view of the regional geography before modern expansion.
