About this map

Savannah serves as the focal point for this Hardin County landscape, where the Tennessee River corridor gives way to a network of creeks and named hollows. Residential growth is evident in neighborhoods like Woodland Heights, New Town, and Belle Meade, while the regional Savannah-Hardin County Airport anchors the central terrain. To the east, the topography becomes more complex, marked by features such as Godwin Mill Hollow and Oxen Hollow, which drain toward the winding paths of Turkey Creek and Horse Creek.

Genealogists will find a high density of rural burial sites, ranging from the large Savannah Cem to smaller family and community plots like Neill Cem, DeBerry Cem, and Perkins-McCurry Cem. The map also preserves the courses of old transport routes, including the Graham Mill Trail and Airport Road Trail, alongside smaller settlements such as Maddox, Olivet, and West Hima. This detail provides a clear view of how mid-century residential expansion integrated with the older agricultural and creek-bottom patterns of the region.
