2016 Map of Gordonsburg

About this map

The Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail bisects this landscape, following the ridgeline through the heart of the Tennessee hills. This corridor, an ancient path of commerce and travel, defines the regional geography as it crosses from the Hickman Co line into Lewis County. The settlement of Gordonsburg serves as a local focal point near Kittrell Hill, while the small community of Salem is situated to the north along Salem Rd. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named hollows, such as Sugarcamp Hollow and Faucette Hollow, which drain into several branches of Swan Creek. For those researching local families, numerous small burial grounds are documented, including Mount Sinai Cem, Gordonsburg Cem, and the uniquely named Bradford Hollow English Camp Hollow, providing a clear record of the area's rural heritage and burial traditions.
