About this map

Round Lick Creek and its many tributaries, including Jennings Fork and Dry Fork Creek, carve through this section of Middle Tennessee, draining north toward the reach of Old Hickory Lake. The landscape is defined by its numerous small peaks and hollows, such as Tomahawk Knob, Evans Mountain, and Tuggle Hollow. The settlement of Saulsbury sits along the western edge, while a dense network of country roads, like Opossum Hollow Rd and Fural Academy Rd, connects dozens of family and community burial grounds.

Genealogists will find this 2010 survey particularly valuable for locating rural interments, ranging from the Shaver Cemetery Kent Cemetery near the center to the Bethlehem Cemetery and Commerce Cemetery. The distribution of these sites, alongside landmarks like Belle Hill and Walnut Knob, illustrates the enduring rural character of Smith County even as modern infrastructure like interstate routes cross the terrain.
