2013 Map of Turners Station

About this map

Turners Station and the surrounding rural communities of Sumner County are depicted here in detail during the early 21st century. The landscape is defined by a dense network of creek valleys and hollows, including Middle Fork Drakes Cr and the waters of Meadowbrook Game Farm Lake. These topographic features shaped the early settlement patterns of the region, where numerous small hamlets like Fairfield, Pondville, and Providence developed along the winding ridge roads and valley floors. In the southern portion of the map, the settlements of Bledsoe and Bransford sit near the headwaters of Bledsoe Cr. The map preserves a high concentration of family-named roads, such as Charles Brown Rd and Bishop Troutt Rd, which offer significant value for genealogists tracing ancestral landholdings in this part of Tennessee. The transition from the Highland terrain down into the various forks of the Caney and Drakes creeks illustrates the enduring rural character of the area.
