About this map

The Buffalo River anchors this central Perry County landscape, carving a deep, winding path through a series of dramatic hollows and ridges. In this 2012 snapshot of rural Tennessee, the settlement patterns follow the river and its many tributaries, with Beardstown and Chestnut Grove serving as primary local hubs. The terrain is defined by family-named landmarks and geographic features such as Scaggs Bluff and Burns Ridge, alongside a multitude of narrow valleys including Loveless Hollow, Shelton Hollow, and Kittrell Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians can find interest in the numerous springs that dot the map, such as Twomey Spring, Rainey Spring, and Ledbetter Spring, which historically influenced where homesteads were established. Notable landmarks like the Linden Lookout Tower in the southwest and the Apple Orchard in the northeast provide reference points for the region's topography. The road network, including Old Beardstown RD and Old State HWY 13, reflects the early transportation corridors used before modern highway alignments.
