About this map

Powell Chapel and the surrounding highlands of Giles County define this rural landscape south of Pulaski. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of ridges and hollows, such as Hurricane Ridge and Maxwell Hollow, which have influenced the layout of local roads and small settlements for generations. Communities like Aymett Town, Blooming Grove, and Five Points are linked by winding routes like Pisgah Pike and Beech Hill Rd, reflecting a historic pattern of upland farming and close-knit crossroads. Water sources, including Pigeon Roost Cr and Leatherwood Cr, carve through the topography, supporting homesteads near features like Catfarm Spring. This documentation of the area captures the enduring character of Middle Tennessee’s ridge-and-valley geography before modern development patterns fully altered the traditional connections between its namesake hollows and hilltops.
