2010 Map of Rally Hill

About this map

Hurts Cross Roads serves as a central landmark in this rural Tennessee landscape, where the headwaters of Rutherford Creek and Flat Creek carve through a terrain defined by numerous family-named heights like Skinner Hill and Orchard Hill. The southern edge of the sheet is bounded by the winding Duck River, featuring the prominent Tugas Bend. This 2010 survey is an exceptional resource for genealogists, as it meticulously documents dozens of small burial grounds, including the Riley-Harper Cemetery, Shires Cemetery, and Macedonia Cemetery. The dense concentration of these sites, alongside names like Williams Cemetery and Boyd Cemetery, reflects a long-established pattern of family landholdings and small-scale settlements. The map also reveals the rural road network, with routes like Rally Hill Rd and Hardison Mill Rd connecting the scattered homesteads and hilltop pastures that characterize this portion of Middle Tennessee.
