Elk Ridge and the deeply dissected valleys of the Maury Co Giles Co line define this area of Middle Tennessee. The landscape is characterized by numerous small settlements and family burial grounds, such as the John Laird Family Cem and West Family Cem, which speak to a long history of rural homesteading. Communities like Stiversville, Yokley, and Southport are connected by a network of hollow roads, including Parrish Hollow Rd and Kersey Hollow Rd, which follow the natural contours of the terrain. The presence of numerous gaps, such as Hickmans Gap and Braggs Gap, highlights the importance of mountain passes for travel through the ridge-and-valley topography. Water sources like Badger Spring Lake and Fountain Cr further illustrate the area's geography, supporting the small hamlets that have endured along the county boundary.
