2016 Map of Mulberry

About this map

Mulberry and the surrounding agricultural landscape of Lincoln County define this region of Middle Tennessee. The area is marked by a high density of family cemeteries, including the Sullivan Cem, McDaniel-Parks Cem, and Stephens-Carter Cem, which are invaluable for genealogical research into the families that settled along the forks of Mulberry Creek. The settlement pattern follows the intricate network of hollows and ridges, with names like McGee Hollow and Crystal Ridge reflecting the local topography. To the south, the Elk River winds past Pitts Bend and Dickey Island, crossed by landmarks such as the Cowley Bridge and Shiloh Bridge. Smaller communities like Kelso, Gattistown, and The Quarter provide evidence of early twentieth-century rural development and the importance of waterway crossings such as Lockes Mill.
