About this map

Clear Fork Creek and Dry Creek carve through this section of Middle Tennessee, defining a landscape of hollows and ridges identified by family names. Many of these geographical features, such as Anderson Hollow, Vandergriff Hollow, and Vickers Hollow, reflect long-standing local lineages. Cultural landmarks are scattered throughout the terrain, including Mount Moriah and the evocative Indian Grave Point near Wilder Hollow.

Genealogists can find several notable burial sites documented here, such as Braswell Cemetery, Fuson Cemetery, and Beech Hill Cemetery. The road network, including Bluhmtown Rd and Pea Ridge Rd, follows the winding topography of the stream valleys and upland ridges like Pea Ridge and Copling Ridge. This 2010 survey provides a modern view of rural land use, where established homesteads and local roads continue to follow the natural contours of the Central Basin's edge.
