About this map

Christiana and Fosterville anchor this landscape along the Shelbyville Pike, where the rolling terrain of Middle Tennessee transitions toward the Tennessee Valley Divide. The map reveals a dense concentration of family-named landmarks and cemeteries, such as the Blankenship Cem and Isaac Miller Cem, reflecting generations of settlement in Rutherford and Bedford counties. The West Fork of the Stones River and various smaller tributaries like Armstrong Br and Panther Cr provide the primary drainage for the area.

Smaller crossroads such as Midland and Crescent are documented alongside specialized features like the Long Meadow Airstrip. Natural landmarks such as Nebo Knobs, Hickory Hill, and Soapstone Hill define the southern elevation. Local water sources including Johns Spring and Holden Spring further emphasize the historical reliance on the land's natural hydrology for local agriculture and homesteading.
