About this map

Newburg and Oak Grove anchor this 2021 study of the Franklin County landscape, where the northern agricultural reaches transition into the heavily wooded valleys of the William B. Bankhead National Forest. This modern survey highlights a high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Sylvester Cem, Mount Pleasant Cem, and Macedonia Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research.

The topography is defined by the Tennessee Valley Divide, with numerous watercourses like Mud Cr and Little Bear Cr carving through named landforms such as Macedonia Mtn and Coffin Hollow. The map reveals a network of rural routes, including Old State Rte 24 and Russellville RD, that connect these upland settlements to the surrounding valleys. The presence of features like Stillhouse Hollow and Steele Hollow points to the area's deep-seated local nomenclature and rural character.
