2016 Map of Cypress Inn

About this map

Cypress Inn serves as a central hub in this borderland landscape, situated just north of the Tennessee-Alabama line. The area is defined by the prominent route of the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail, which cuts diagonally across the undulating terrain of Bevis Ridge and Cromwell Ridge Rd. This 2016 survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural community, where the history of settlement is preserved through an extensive network of family and local burial grounds, including the Old Chestnut Grove Cem, McAllister Cem, and Old Darby Cem. The geography is intricately carved by numerous waterways such as Weatherford Cr and Cypress Cr, which flow through the hollows. For genealogists and local historians, the high density of cemeteries like Piney Grove Cem and Mount Pleasant Cem offers a detailed map of the families who have long inhabited this portion of Wayne County.
