About this map

Franklin and the surrounding Williamson County landscape are defined by the winding course of the Harpeth River and its numerous tributaries. This survey captures a modern view of an area rich in family history, where established settlements like Berrys Chapel and Leipers Fork sit alongside smaller locales such as Bingham and Southall. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the heights of High Point and Pea Ridge down into the fertile valleys of Boxley Valley and Waddell Hollow.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family burial grounds and historic sites throughout the countryside, including McPherson Cem, Tucker-Garrett Cem, and multiple locations identified as Slave Cem. The map traces the historical path of the Natchez Trace Parkway as it cuts through the western ridges, while landmarks like Winstead Hill and Saw Mill Cr provide clear reference points for those studying the evolving land use and settlement patterns of central Tennessee.
