2016 Map of Primm Springs

About this map

Primm Springs and the surrounding borderlands of Hickman, Williamson, and Maury Counties are defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges that once supported a thriving agricultural and milling economy. This landscape is anchored by the historic path of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail, which bisects the region near Kinderhook. The reliance on local water power for early industry is evident at Johnsons Mill and the area near Mill Seat, where numerous tributaries like Leipers Cr and Lick Creek carve through the terrain. Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial sites, including Johnsons Chapel Cem, Fly Cem, and Hilltown Cem. From the small settlements of Whiteoak and Beasley Crossroads to the named peaks of Hominy Ridge and Gordon Hill, the map documents a resilient rural character that has persisted for generations.
