About this map

Yellow Creek and its many winding tributaries carve through the heart of this landscape where the borders of Houston, Montgomery, Dickson, and Stewart counties converge. The area is defined by a dense network of named hollows, including Tanbark Hollow, Mint Hollow, and Bushwhacker Hollow, which dictate the placement of rural homesteads and narrow winding roads like Billy Parchman Rd.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of family burial sites scattered across the ridges, such as the Bibbs - Wimberly Cem, Fletcher Cem, and Rye Cem. Small community centers like Ellis Mills and Stony Point serve as the primary landmarks in this deeply dissected terrain. The mapping reveals how local geography, dominated by steep ridges and creek bottoms like Leatherwood Cr and Guices Cr, has shaped the development of these multi-county borderlands.
