2019 Map of Martins Mills

About this map

Lutts and Martins Mills serve as the primary focal points of this Tennessee survey, situated in a terrain defined by the complex drainage of Weatherford Creek and Indian Creek. The area is notably dense with family burying grounds and community cemeteries, indicating a long-established rural population scattered across ridges like Atkinson Ridge and Copeland Ridge. To the north, the small settlement of Houston lies near the headwaters of Davis Br and Petit Hollow Br. The landscape is etched with deep valleys such as Downing Hollow and Lindsey Hollow, where small family names mark the map, including Nowlin Family Cem and Melson Cem. The presence of Greeson Chapel Cem suggests the historical importance of small country parishes in connecting these isolated hollows through a network of early roads like Old Weatherford Creek Rd.
