About this map

Petersburg sits at the intersection of the Marshall Co and Lincoln Co line, serving as a focal point for this rural Tennessee landscape. The area is defined by a dense network of family-named hollows and ridges, including Duckworth Hollow, Whorley Hollow, and Maple Hill Ridge. These landforms dictate the placement of small settlements like Delina, Blakeville, and Talley, which are connected by winding local roads such as Springplace Rd and Fishing Ford Rd.

Family history is deeply etched into the terrain through numerous small burial grounds and landmarks. Genealogists will find interest in sites such as Mount Zion Cem, Old Orchard Cem, and Cumberland Cem. The presence of Toll Gate Hill and the Toll Gate indicates historical travel patterns through the valley, while water features like Pleasant Valley Cr and Richland Cr provide the drainage for this dissected plateau.
