About this map

Natchez Trace Parkway and the Old Natchez Trce slice diagonally through this Middle Tennessee landscape, following the high ground of Lick Ridge and Greenbrier Ridge. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainage basins, most notably Lick Creek and Leipers Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns of small communities like Kinderhook, Fly, and Greenbrier. This survey captures the rural character of the borderlands between Hickman, Williamson, and Maury Counties, where family heritage is anchored in numerous upland burial grounds such as Oakley Cem, Slaughter Cem, and Byrd Cem.

Industrial and agricultural history is evident in names like Mill Seat and Johnsons Mill, suggesting early reliance on local water power. The map detail highlights the intricate system of named hollows, including Boneyard Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, which provided sheltered locations for early farmsteads. Roadways often follow these natural contours, such as Locust Fork Rd and W Lick Creek Rd, connecting scattered crossroads like Beasley Crossroads to the broader regional network.
