About this map

Cottontown and the crossroads settlements of Sumner County define this interior landscape of central Tennessee. The map illustrates a network of rural communities, including Walnut Grove and Ocana, linked by a web of winding county roads such as Shun Pike and Station Camp Cr. Many family-named geographic features, such as Kill Buck Knob, Pitt Hill, and O'Ryan Knob, reveal the long-standing generational ties to the land.

A significant concentration of named hollows, including Bug Hollow, Bandmill Hollow, and Groundhop Hollow, provides a detailed look at the drainage patterns feeding into Station Camp Cr and Liberty Br. Landmarks of local social importance, like the Sumner County Home and Liberty Community Hall, sit among the varied terrain of Chestnut Ridge and Capps Gap. These details offer a clear view of how land ownership and community infrastructure have evolved around the headwaters of the Cumberland River basin.
