2022 Map of Theta

About this map

The Tennessee Valley Divide snakes across this landscape where Williamson Co meets Maury Co, defining a complex network of ridges and hollows. The Natchez Trace Parkway follows the high ground of Cunningham Ridge and Greenbrier Ridge, mirroring the ancient travel corridor that has long crossed this region. Local settlements like Smarden, Bethel, Boston, and Theta are established along the valley floors and higher clearings, connected by a web of rural routes including Leipers Creek Rd and Bending Chestnut Rd. Numerous family and community burial sites, such as Carlisle Cem, Garrison Cem, and Sparkman Cem, are found near these crossroads. The area's topography is marked by named features like Mobley Cut and Dark Hollow, indicating the persistent influence of the terrain on the road networks and farmsteads found throughout the upper reaches of Leipers Fork and Garrison Cr.
