2016 Map of Glenmont

About this map

Nashville and Glenmont anchor this rural landscape in Holmes County, where local history is preserved across a network of numerous small burial grounds and country roads. The map reveals the intricate drainage patterns of Black Cr, Paint Cr, and Shrimplin Cr, which carve through the high ground of Bell Ridge and Buffalo Ridge. Genealogists will find a high density of cemetery sites, ranging from the Nashville Methodist Cem and Presbyterian Cem in the northwest to the Sunnyside Cem and Welcome Cem further south. These sites, along with the Old Dutch Lutheran Cem and Temple Cem, speak to the deep-seated denominational roots of the area's early settlers. The settlement pattern remains largely defined by crossroads and small valleys, with Miley Crossroads and Paint Valley marking key intersections in the regional road system that connects these tight-knit communities.
