About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this landscape where four counties—Williamson, Marshall, Rutherford, and Bedford—intersect. The topography is defined by prominent rises like Buckeye Ridge and Buckeye Knob, while the drainage network includes the winding Flat Cr and W Fork Spring Cr. Small agricultural settlements such as Riggs Crossroads and Holts Corner serve as local hubs, connected by a network of country roads like Old Hwy 99 and Floyd Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds across the terrain, including Lester Cem, Brittain Cem, and Nunn Cem. The presence of T-Top Airfield near the Bedford County line and several named hollows like Bruce Hollow reflect the rural, sparsely populated nature of the region in the early 21st century. The map provides a precise look at the transition between the valley floor and the surrounding ridges near Chapel Hill.
