2013 Map of Hillsdale

About this map

Hillsdale sits at the heart of this North Tennessee landscape, where the winding waters of Goose Cr and the Middle Fork Goose Cr carve through a terrain defined by named hollows and ridges. The settlement pattern follows these narrow valleys, with Beech Grove and Meadorville serving as local anchors along the primary road corridors. The map reveals a deeply localized geography, where family-named landmarks like McClanahan Hollow, Wright Hollow, and Woodmore Hollow suggest generations of land use and genealogy. High points such as Hard Scratch Hill and Peddlers Ridge overlook a complex network of smaller tributaries, including Pumpkin Br and Honey Prong. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of the region, where communities like New Harmony, Cato, and Beech Bottom remain connected by historical routes that navigate the intricate drainage systems of the Cumberland River watershed.
