2016 Map of Willette

About this map

Willette and the surrounding hollows of the Central Basin and Highland Rim transition define this landscape at the intersection of Macon, Smith, and Jackson Counties. The settlement pattern follows the intricate drainage network of Jennings Creek and Wartrace Creek, with small communities like Milltown and Prosperity established near these water sources. The map reveals a high density of family and community landmarks, particularly small burial grounds such as Thomas Cem and Minchey Cem, which are essential for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee.
