2018 Map of Slayden

About this map

Slayden and Early Grove anchor this northern Marshall County landscape, just south of the Tennessee state line. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek valleys, including Stout Cr, Golden Cr, and Early Grove Cr, which eventually feed toward the Coldwater River in the southwest. A remarkable number of family and community burial grounds are preserved across these hills, from Early Grove Cem in the northeast to the Hudsonville Cem and Kimbrough Cem further south. The presence of Sand Flats and the Mill Pond near Mill Pond Rd suggests the historical reliance on local water resources and geography. Transportation is characterized by a web of rural routes like Slayden Rd and Roberts Chapel Rd, connecting scattered homesteads and small clearings such as Jeter Field to the primary settlements.
