About this map

Franklin and its western rural surroundings are defined by the winding course of the Harpeth River and a dense network of family cemeteries and historical landmarks. The landscape shifts from the town's residential expansion near Winstead Hill and Reid Hill to the rolling hollows and ridges of the Tennessee countryside. Of particular significance to local historians and genealogists are the numerous burial sites, including multiple instances of a Slave Cemetery and family plots like the McGavock Cemetery and Stone Cemetery.

Industry and local geography are tied to the land at the Gray Mine and Truett Mine, while the distinctive horseshoe of Lumsden Bend and the heights of Backbone Ridge shape the river valley. The survey also captures rural pockets like Boxley Valley and names the small tributaries such as Polk Creek and Leipers Fork that feed into the larger river system, providing a clear picture of the county's topographical and cultural heritage at the start of the 21st century.
