About this map

Fairview and Leipers Fork anchor this 2016 survey of the Tennessee interior, where the Tennessee Valley Divide shapes the rugged drainage patterns of Williamson and Davidson counties. The landscape is defined by its deep hollows and high ridges, including Mangrum Hollow, Sugar Camp Hollow, and the prominent Cedar Bluff. The South Harpeth River winds through the central terrain, joined by numerous tributaries such as Caney Fork Cr and Bedford Cr.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family history preserved in the numerous cemeteries scattered across the hills, from Lampley Cem near the northern boundary to Hillsboro Cem in the southeast. Historical road networks and landmarks like the Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail intersect with older routes such as Old Harding Pike and Old State Hwy 96. Small settlements like Fernvale and Kingfield provide additional focal points for local history research, reflecting a community structure tied closely to the creek valleys and ridge lines.
