About this map

Bradshaw Creek and its many forks define the landscape of this southern Tennessee borderland, where the boundary between Giles and Lincoln counties cuts through steep hills and hollows. The settlement of Frankewing sits near the crossing of Bradshaw Creek and Old US Hwy 64, serving as a central point for a network of rural communities including McBurg, Taylortown, and Woodrow. The area is densely packed with family-named cemeteries such as Hovis-Gregory Cem, Rambo Cem, and Wright Cem, reflecting generations of local history and family ties to the land.

Prominent terrain features like Backbone Ridge and Ballentine Bluff overlook the winding stream valleys, while the southern portion of the map transitions toward the Bee Spring area. The presence of Levairport and the transit route of Old Elkton Pike suggest the evolution of local transportation from early thoroughfares to modern infrastructure, all while maintaining the traditional character of these hillside settlements.
