About this map

William B. Bankhead National Forest occupies the southeastern portion of this map, marking a transition from the rolling hills of the Tennessee Valley Divide into managed timberlands. The settlement of Newburg sits along the northern edge, where several rural cemeteries like Sylvester Cem and Mt Pleasant Cem provide anchor points for genealogical research. The landscape is defined by its drainages, with Mud Creek and Little Bear Creek carving through the terrain near notable landmarks such as Macedonia Mtn.

Southward, the map details the small communities of Oak Grove and Union, connected by a network of county roads. The presence of features like Stillhouse Hollow and Coffin Hollow suggests a history of local industry and folklore tied to the geography. Significant water bodies include Robertson Lake and the interestingly named Sand Pit-New Hope Church Lake, reflecting the diverse land use in this part of Franklin and Lawrence counties during the early 21st century.
