About this map

The boundary between DeKalb Co and Warren Co segments this central Tennessee landscape, defined by a network of rural settlements and small family burial grounds. High ground near Lucky and Green Hill overlooks the winding courses of Mountain Creek and Devenport Creek. The area’s spiritual and communal life is anchored by the New Bildad Primitive Baptist Church and a high density of namesake cemeteries, including Bratcher Cem, Griffith Cem, and Holders Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this region.

Infrastructure in the 2010s follows established corridors like State Route 56, connecting the villages of Dibrell and Gath. The topography is shaped by unique hydrological features such as the Mizer Swamp and various drainage branches like Right Fork Dry Br and Sink Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of the Highland Rim. Smaller locales such as Bethel, Bluff Springs, and Earleyville remain distinct points of settlement amidst the farm and timber land.
