About this map

Mount Herman and its neighbor New Herman sit amidst a complex network of hollows and ridges in this portion of Moore County, Tennessee. The landscape is defined by the sharp relief of Warren Hollow, McNatt Hollow, and Possumtrot Hollow, where small settlements and family farms have long established their roots. The drainage pattern of the W Fork Mulberry Cr and its tributaries like Charity Cr and Spankem Br dictates the winding paths of rural roads like Lynchburg Rd and Howard Martin Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, including Old Mount Herman Cem, Booneville Cem, and the Shofner Cem near Booneville. The map also captures the western approach to the town of Lynchburg, showing local landmarks such as Sebastian Pond and Highview Cem. This survey illustrates the persistent rural character of the region, where naming conventions often reflect the families who settled the various gaps and branches.
