2016 Map of Slayden

About this map

Slayden and Vanleer sit within a landscape marked by deep hollows and family-named cemeteries across the Montgomery and Dickson County line. This 2016 edition reveals a high density of rural burial sites, including the Slayden Cem, Keele Cem, and Suggs Cem, which provide significant points of interest for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee. The terrain is defined by numerous watercourses such as Little Bartons Creek and the Woods Valley Branch, which carve through the land forming Thorne Hollow and Raney Camp Hollow. The map detail follows the winding paths of rural routes like Woods Valley Road and Butcher Ridge Road, connecting smaller communities like Marion and Woods Valley. These transportation and settlement patterns reflect a persistent rural structure, where small crossroads and stream-side hollows remain the primary geographic anchors.
