About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide cuts through this landscape on the border of Humphreys and Dickson counties, separating the complex drainage networks of the western Highland Rim. The community of Tennessee City sits along the primary east-west road corridor, surrounded by numerous family burial grounds including Rice Cem and the Tennessee City Cem. To the west, the map shows the edge of McEwen, where the terrain begins to drop into a dense system of hollows.

The topographic character is defined by narrow ridges and deeply recessed valleys such as Buckhorn Hollow and Beatty Hollow. Small water bodies like Simmons Lake and Burch Lake are scattered among the timbered slopes, while agricultural activity is concentrated along the flatter ridge tops and wider valley floors. Genealogists will find a high density of small, named cemeteries like Few Chapel Cem, Berryman Cem, and Nolan Cem, which offer significant clues to the early settlement patterns of these rural Tennessee uplands.
