About this map

Turners Station and the surrounding Sumner County highlands are defined by a dense network of ridge-top roads and deep hollows, such as Keen Hollow and Rockhouse Hollow. This 2016 survey highlights the intricate topography of the Tennessee-Kentucky borderlands, where settlements like Westmoreland and Liberty developed along these natural corridors. The landscape is dotted with small family and community burial grounds, including the Fairfield Cem, Butt Cem, and Bradley Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research in this rural region.

Waterways like the Middle Fork Drakes Creek and Dutch Creek carve through the terrain, influencing the placement of historic farmsteads and junctions like Angeltown and Withamtown. The map also traces the path of Old Hwy 31 E, a vital historical artery connecting these upland communities. From the Meadowbrook Game Farm Lake in the northwest to the crossing at Bransford in the south, the map documents a persistent rural character maintained well into the twenty-first century.
