About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes through this portion of middle Tennessee, separating the drainage systems of the eastern and western Highland Rim. The village of Tennessee City serves as a local hub along the CSX Transportation railroad line, while the western edge reaches the outskirts of McEwen. This landscape is defined by an intricate network of hollows, such as Buckhorn Hollow and Grindstone Hollow, which have long dictated the placement of small family farms and rural homesteads.

Genealogists will find a high density of preserved family burial grounds, including the Berryman Cem, McElhiney Cem, and Nolan Cem, often situated on the higher ground overlooking creek branches. The presence of Fews Chapel Cem and Few Chapel Cem suggests deep-rooted community ties centered around historical congregation sites. Notable water features like Burch Lake and Simmons Lake provide focal points in a terrain dominated by numerous small tributaries like Hurricane Cr and Little Hurricane Cr.
