About this map

Cornersville serves as a central hub in this Southern Middle Tennessee landscape, where the borders of Marshall, Giles, and Lincoln counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, including Goshen Ridge and Diana Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Old Ostella Rd and Ostella Rd. Smaller settlements such as Graball, Gnat Grove, and Yell are scattered throughout these valleys, often situated near the headwaters of Richland Creek or the many forks of Bradshaw Cr.

For researchers, the map provides a look at the distribution of community landmarks that often denote vanished hamlets. Numerous burial sites including Beechwood Cem and Hobby Cem are preserved alongside topographical landmarks like Horse Knob. The presence of New Town and Archer highlights the persistent small-town structure of the region, where family names are often preserved in the geography of locations like Hatchett Hollow or Caneer Hollow.
