About this map

Waynesboro serves as the focal point for this survey of eastern Wayne County, where the Highland Rim's dissected landscape is defined by long ridges and deep hollows. The eastern portion of the town gives way to a network of creeks and timbered heights, including Negro Ridge and Dick Cabin Ridge. Family history is preserved in numerous upland burial sites such as Copeland Cem and Keeton Cem, while the Wayne County Memorial Gardens marks more recent development.

The presence of Forge Stack Bridge and the Fortyeight Forge Cem near Fortyeight Cr points to the area's industrial heritage, likely related to nineteenth-century iron production. Transport routes like the Lawrenceburg Hwy and the Natchez Trace Parkway cut across the drainage patterns of Hurricane Cr and the Green River, reflecting the long-standing importance of this corridor for travel across southern Middle Tennessee.
