About this map

Petersburg anchors this Central Tennessee landscape, where the convergence of Cane Cr and Sanders Cr defines the local geography. The area is characterized by a high density of named topographic features, particularly family-named hollows and hills that suggest a long-established rural community structure. From Wakefield Hollow to Larwood Hill, these labels provide essential data for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings.

Strategic transport nodes like Browns Shop and Catalpa dot the countryside, while smaller settlements such as Luna, Talley, and Delina are connected by a network of named routes including Old Petersburg Pike. Significant water sources, including Bryant Spring, Sanders Spring, and Twin Springs, appear alongside numerous branches and creeks, highlighting the importance of natural hydrology in the development of these upland settlements.
