About this map

Westmoreland serves as a central hub in this modern topographic landscape, where the ridges of north-central Tennessee are deeply etched by a network of drainage basins and named hollows. The terrain is characterized by a high density of ancestral burial grounds, including the Caldwell Cem in the north and the Alvis - Shrum Cem further south, reflecting generations of family settlement. Small communities like Siloam, New Zion, and Eulia are connected by a web of rural routes such as Austin Peay Hwy and Pike Cem road.

The map reveals the area's geological and cultural heritage through features like Stillhouse Hollow and Saltpeter Cave Hollow, alongside numerous creek branches like Bledsoe Cr and Garrett Cr. From the northern reaches of Pleasant Grove to the southern boundaries near Fairview, the landscape is a complex arrangement of family-named landmarks and historical sites like Leaths Chapel, providing a detailed look at the rural character of the Sumner and Macon county borderlands.
