About this map

Natchez Trace Parkway and National Scenic Trail winds through this landscape on the border of Williamson and Maury counties, following the ancient corridor of trade and travel. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges and hollows, such as Tennessee Valley Divide and Duck River Ridge, which separate the headwaters of Leipers Creek from Lick Creek. Small rural communities like Theta, Boston, and Smarden anchor the region, connected by a network of winding roads like Leipers Creek Rd and Natchez Trace Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds, including the Garrison Cem, Carlisle Cem, and Tidwell Cem. Unique topographic landmarks like Mobley Cut and Finnegans Knob provide a clear sense of the local geography as it appeared in the mid-2010s. The presence of Lost Acres Lake and numerous springs like Cassman Spring highlight the well-watered nature of these Middle Tennessee hills.
