2010 Map of Deason

About this map

Shelbyville and its northern rural environs are defined by a dense network of family cemeteries and small creek valleys in this 2010 topographic study. The landscape is notably marked by ancestral burial grounds such as the Erwin Slave Cemetery, Houston Whitworth Cemetery, and Springer Cemetery, reflecting generations of local land ownership and lineage. Transportation is centered around Bomar Field-Shelbyville Municipal Airport, while the terrain rises toward significant landmarks like Horse Mountain and the Epps Hills to the northeast. Water follows the natural drainage of Hurricane Creek, Fall Creek, and the Little Hurricane Creek, which carve through the farmland between major thoroughfares like the Old Nashville Dirt Rd. This survey documents the transition between the urban reach of Shelbyville and the enduring pastoral character of Bedford County.
