About this map

Linden serves as the focal point of this Perry County landscape, situated where several creeks and hollows meet the winding Buffalo River. The topography is defined by a dense network of hollows, such as Slickrock Hollow and Johnson Hollow, which dictate the placement of early roads and small settlements like Bethel and Sugar Hill. Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites scattered across the ridges and river bottoms, including the Kittrell Cem, Hufstedler Cem, and the uniquely named The Mound Cem.

The presence of Ledbetter Island and Farmers Valley highlights the historical importance of the river bottomlands for agriculture and settlement. Transport routes such as Old State Hwy 13 and Old State Hwy 20 follow the natural contours of the land, connecting these remote valley communities. Landmarks like Sassafras Stand Ridge and Boiling Spring further characterize the distinct local geography of central Tennessee in the early 21st century.
