About this map

Cedars of Lebanon State Forest dominates this central Tennessee landscape, its dense woodlands punctuated by a network of rural roads and scattered homesteads. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations such as Pilot Knob and Pulltight Hill, while the subterranean character of the region is evidenced by Hermit Cave and several quarries. Settlement patterns follow the winding routes of Stewarts Ferry Pike and Major Road, where small communities like Bairds Mill and Vine established themselves near reliable water sources like Hurricane Creek.

Family history is well-preserved through numerous named landmarks and cemeteries, including Major Cem and Huddleston Cem. These sites, alongside local congregations at Adams Grove Ch and Hebron Ch, reveal the social fabric of the area as it stood in the mid-20th century. The map also delineates the jurisdictional boundary between Wilson Co and Rutherford Co, showing how the topography influenced the county lines and the development of surrounding hamlets like Leland and Silver Hill.
