2016 Map of Craigfield

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this landscape on the border of Dickson, Hickman, and Williamson counties, separating the waters flowing toward the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers. This topographic study captures a transition between the established community of Fairview and the rural crossroads of Tidwell and Craigfield. The map is particularly dense with family cemeteries, including the Lampley Cem, Richardson Cem, and Fowlkes Cem, offering a detailed look at the ancestral burial grounds of these middle Tennessee ridges. A network of country roads like Old Nashville Rd and Old Hillsboro Rd follows the high ground, while numerous watercourses such as Big Turnbull Cr and Younger Cr carve the hollows. Large tracts like Mangrum Hollow and Sleepy Hollow define the drainage patterns that have shaped local agriculture and settlement since the nineteenth century.
