About this map

Hardin Creek and Eagle Creek carve through the heavily dissected landscape of the Highland Rim along the Wayne and Hardin County line. This mid-century topography reveals a rural society organized around narrow valleys and countless named hollows, such as Throgmartin Hollow and Hendricks Hollow. The settlement pattern follows the water, with clusters of family history found at Lizard Glade Cem, Blackshire Cem, and Friendship Cem.

Industry and infrastructure appear as modest overlays on the terrain, including the Clifton Junction area and a network of pipelines cutting across the ridges. Evidence of local spiritual and community life is anchored by Evans Chapel, Philadelphia Ch, and Bethany Ch. Notable water sources like Arnold Hollow Spring and the landmark lookout tower reflect the area's reliance on and management of its natural resources.
