About this map

Old Hickory Lake and the winding course of Round Lick Creek define the geography of this Middle Tennessee landscape along the Wilson and Smith county line. The map captures a primarily rural environment characterized by small agricultural hubs like Grant, New Middleton, and Commerce. Numerous family-named cemeteries such as Barnett Cem, Bethlehem Cem, and Tuggle Cem are scattered throughout the hills, providing a detailed record for genealogical research in these small communities.

The presence of prominent high points like Tomahawk Knob, Blue Knob, and Pilot Knob underscores the broken terrain through which Jennings Fork Creek and Mulherrin Creek flow. Transport infrastructure is marked by the development of Interchange 254, signaling the arrival of major highway travel near Shaver Town. Traditional community anchors are represented by local congregations at Rawls Creek Ch and Good Hope Ch, reflecting the established social fabric of the area during the late 1950s.
