2019 Map of New Middleton

About this map

Round Lick Creek and its many tributaries, including Jennings Fork and Mulherrin Cr, carve through this section of Middle Tennessee, defining a landscape of hollows and prominent knobs. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses and the historical path of the Trousdale Ferry Pike, which connects small communities like New Middleton and Shaver Town. This 2019 survey reveals a high density of family-named cemeteries such as Bethlehem Cem, Shaver Cem, and Phillips Cem, serving as vital markers for genealogical research in Smith and Wilson counties. High ground is frequently named, with Tomahawk Knob, Pilot Knob, and Walnut Knob rising above the winding valley roads. The map illustrates how modern transit corridors parallel older routes, passing through established crossroads like Grant and Commerce while maintaining the traditional names of local landmarks like Tuggle Hollow.
