2016 Map of Tennessee City

About this map

Tennessee City sits along the northern edge of this map, positioned near the Tennessee Valley Divide where the landscape transitions into a series of deep hollows. The terrain is defined by a dense network of creek branches, including Hurricane Creek and Little Hurricane Creek, which have carved out family-named landmarks like Heath Hollow, Brown Hollow, and Murrell Hollow. This area along the Dickson and Humphreys county line preserves a high density of small family and community burial grounds. Genealogists will find numerous sites of interest, from the Tennessee City Cemetery and Rice Cemetery to more remote locations such as Washburn Cemetery, Holland Cemetery, and the Fews Chapel Cemetery located near Old Sam Hollow. The distribution of these sites suggests a long-standing pattern of rural settlement clustered around the numerous water sources like Indian Creek and Garner Creek.
