About this map

Unionville and its surrounding Bedford County hamlets define the landscape of this Central Tennessee region, where a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural crossroads speaks to generations of local settlement. The terrain is marked by the winding course of the Duck River, which carves distinctive features such as Shearin Bend and the prominent Tarpley Bluff. This area historically relied on the water power of the regional creeks, evidenced by landmarks like Anchor Mill and the community at Halls Mill.

Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family burial sites, including the Allison Cem, Lentz- Williams Cem, and Collier- Jones Cem, providing a precise record of the families who established farms along North Fork Creek and Weakly Creek. The map documents the shift from historical river-oriented industry to a modern road network, including Old Columbia Rd and Old Pencil Mill Rd, connecting rural outposts like Poplins Crossroads and Elbethel.
