2019 Map of Vanleer

About this map

Vanleer serves as the primary hub in this portion of Dickson County, situated at the intersection of local routes in a landscape defined by deeply incised drainages and high ridges. The area's settlement pattern is closely tied to its terrain, with numerous small communities like Taylor Crossroads, Sylvia, and Hortense linked by winding roads that follow the contours of the land. The map reveals an extensive genealogical record through its many family and community burial grounds, including Fraudenthal Cem, Maple Grove Cem, and Antioch Cem. Waterways such as Bear Cr, E Fork Yellow Cr, and Sulphur Fork Cr have carved out named landforms like Newman Hollow and Logans Hollow, which shaped the early development of this rural Tennessee region. To the south, the Dickson Municipal Airport stands as a more modern landmark in an otherwise largely agricultural and wooded territory.
