About this map

West Fork Mulberry Creek and the East Fork Mulberry Creek define the drainage of this Tennessee landscape, where deeply etched hollows like McNatt Hollow and John Allen Hollow dictate the placement of early homesteads and cemeteries. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Old Mount Herman Cemetery and New Mount Herman Cemetery in the northwest, and the Lynchburg City Cemetery near the eastern edge.

The presence of the Motlow Cemetery near Price Branch reflects the long-standing heritage of the region's prominent families. Transportation is tied to the topography, with New Hermon Rd and Mount Herman Rd following the high ridges or winding through the valley floors near Buckeye Creek. Distinctive landmarks such as Wagoner Hill and Hobbs Hill provide points of orientation among the numerous named branches and hollows that converge toward the southern boundary.
