About this map

Pleasant Hill serves as a central landmark in this rural landscape of Carroll County, where the terrain is intricately carved by numerous tributaries flowing toward the Big Sandy River. The map reveals a deeply rooted community structure, evidenced by the high density of small family or local burial grounds such as Friendship Cemetery, Nowell Cemetery, and Palestine Cemetery. The importance of water management and local recreation is visible through the presence of the Cotton Creek Hunting Club Dam and the Lester Jackson Dam, which forms Lester Jackson Lake.

Transportation throughout the area relies on a network of named rural routes and historic trails, including the Old Natchez Trace Trl. Notable creeks such as Seventeen Creek, Fourteen Creek, and the forks of Blunt Creek define the drainage patterns. The distribution of sites like Liberty Cemetery and Hicks Cemetery along these winding roads provides a clear picture of the historical settlement patterns and family heritage that persist in this Tennessee countryside.
