About this map

Middleburg serves as a central point in this rural Tennessee landscape, characterized by numerous family cemeteries and small country churches that define the social fabric of Hardeman County. The topography is shaped by the dendritic drainage of Pleasant Run and Spring Creek, which wind through the terrain alongside significant water bodies like Grand Valley Lake and Grand Valley Lake Number Two. This area reflects a long-standing pattern of dispersed agricultural settlement, where local identity is anchored to sites such as Bethel Missionary Baptist Church Cem and New Bethel Missionary Baptist Church Cem.

Transportation routes like Van Buren Rd and Lake Hardeman Rd connect these pocket communities, while William L Whitehurst Field provides a modern aviation landmark amidst the historical homesteads. Genealogists will find particular value in the high density of burial grounds, including the Middleburg Independent Cem, Ussery Cem, and Avent Cem, which preserve the surnames of early residents across the countryside.
