2010 Map of Milky Way

About this map

Milky Way Farm and the associated Mars Mausoleum anchor this landscape, reflecting the significant regional footprint of the famous confectionery family's estate. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as African Hollow and Eldridge Hollow, where small family burial grounds and communities like Pleasant Valley are tucked away. Numerous cemeteries, including Briar Ridge Cemetery, Yokley Cemetery, and Dickerson Cemetery, provide a detailed genealogical record of the rural families settled among the tributaries of Richland Creek and Robertson Fork Creek. The CSX railroad line runs north-to-south, paralleling the main roads and connecting these agricultural spaces. Notable water features like Sanders Lake and the Lake Galilee Dam near the Milky Way settlement demonstrate how local hydrology was modified for both utility and estate development.
