About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this rural landscape south of Murfreesboro, where the headwaters of the Stones River West Fork and Dry Fork begin their descent. Small agrarian communities are anchored by a dense network of family cemeteries and country churches, such as the Alexander Cem and Camp Ground Church. The Nashville Chattanooga and St Louis railroad serves as the primary corridor for commerce, linking the settlements of Christiana and Fosterville. The topography is defined by the prominent Nebo Knobs and several named high points like Hickory Hill and Soapstone Hill, which overlook a patchwork of small schools and local landmarks including Midland Sch and Guy Gap Sch. This mid-century survey illustrates a traditional Tennessee valley economy before modern suburban expansion reached these outlying Rutherford and Bedford county districts.
