About this map

The settlement of Hampshire anchors the northern reaches of this landscape along Catheys Cr, where the boundary between Lewis and Maury County winds through a series of ridges and hollows. The area is defined by numerous family-named landmarks and small communities such as Aethra, Bachelder, and Seth, connected by a network of rural routes like Mount Joy Rd and Pisgah Ridge Rd. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the territory, including the Isom Cem, Whiteside Cem, and Ledbetter Cem.

Southward, the terrain transitions into a intricate system of drainages feeding into Big Swan Cr. The map details many namesake ridges such as Whiteside Ridge and Pisgah Ridge, alongside distinct features like Hamilton Lakes near Bachelder. The small village of Mount Joy sits in the southeast, near where W Fork Big Bigby Cr flows through the hollows. This 2019 survey documents the enduring rural character of these Tennessee uplands, where the landscape remains partitioned by long-standing family landholdings and small, creek-side settlements.
