About this map

Fosterville and Christiana anchor the central corridor of this Tennessee landscape, where the CSX Transportation rail line runs parallel to the Shelbyville Pike. The terrain is defined by the headwaters of the West Fork Stones River and its various tributaries, including Panther Cr and Lytle Cr, which carve through the undulating hills. In the southern portion of the sheet, the topography becomes more pronounced as the land rises toward the Tennessee Valley Divide, marked by prominent high points such as Bare Knob and Soapstone Hill.

Family history is deeply embedded in the landscape through a high density of small burial grounds. Genealogists will find numerous family-named landmarks including the Isaac Miller Cem, Pearson-Todd Cem, and McCord Cem. The settlement at Midland and the Long Meadow Airstrip reflect the mixed agricultural and light aviation character of the region, while the Bedford Co and Rutherford Co line bisects the southern tracts near the N Fork Cr.
