2016 Map of Milky Way

About this map

Richland Creek and Robertson Fork Creek define the central drainage of this Giles County landscape, where the CSX Transportation line runs parallel to the highway through Bufords and Olivet. The map reveals a dense network of family history markers, including numerous small burial sites like the Tinnon Burial Ground and the Mars Mausoleum. These landmarks are often situated near topographic features named for early inhabitants, such as Ballentine Hollow, African Hollow, and Martin Hollow. Settlements like Riversburg and Lynnville serve as local hubs connected by a web of rural roads, including Old Campbellsville Rd and Milky Way Rd. The terrain is characterized by a series of named ridges and hollows, from Briar Ridge in the north down to Chapman Hollow, indicating a landscape deeply tied to its generational agricultural and residential roots.
