2010 Map of Tennessee City

About this map

Tennessee City Cemetery sits at the heart of a landscape defined by deeply etched drainage patterns and family-named hollows in Dickson County. This 2010 survey illustrates the complex topography surrounding Hurricane Creek and its many tributaries, including Yellow Bank Branch and Little Hurricane Creek. The region is notably rich in small family burial grounds, such as the Gray Cemetery, Washburn Cemetery, and Berryman Cemetery, which often serve as the primary markers of earlier rural settlement patterns. In the eastern reaches, the terrain levels slightly near Simmons Lake and Burch Lake, both of which are managed by significant earthworks like the Simmons Lake Dam. Between the high point of Balding Knob and the various branches, a network of country roads like Jason Chapel Rd and Garners Creek Rd connects these scattered landmarks, reflecting the persistent rural character of the Tennessee interior.
