2013 Map of Ovilla

About this map

Highland and Ovilla serve as central points in this portion of Wayne County, where modern transport corridors meet historical routes. The Natchez Trace Pkwy arcs across the landscape, intersecting with local thoroughfares like Old State Hwy 15 and Old Chisholm Rd, the latter hinting at the area's deep-rooted transit history. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including Little Fortyeight Cr and the Little Buffalo River, which carve through the land near Buttermilk Ridge. Local landmarks such as the Ovilla Lookout Tower and the sprawling Laurel Hill Lake underscore a landscape managed for both utility and recreation. Smaller settlements like New Haven and uniquely named locations like Dogwood Mudhole provide specific points of interest for those tracing the community footprint of this Tennessee Highland Rim region.
