About this map

Wolf Pit Ridge serves as the high ground in this network of hollows and creek branches in Hardin County. The landscape is defined by its numerous family burial grounds, reflecting deep ancestral ties to the land through sites like Hames Cemetery, Smith-Rose Cemetery, and Harbour Cemetery. The drainage pattern is intricate, with Turkey Creek and its various tributaries such as Baugus Branch and Gobbler Branch carving out distinct valleys like Puncheon Hollow and Wildcat Hollow.

Rural roads such as Lonesome Pine Rd and Coy Hill Rd connect these isolated hollows. This area, south of the Tennessee River, maintains a traditional settlement pattern where homes and small farms are oriented toward the water sources, including Rogers Creek and Horse Creek. The density of named cemeteries, including Stricklin Cemetery and Pickens Cemetery, makes this a critical document for genealogists tracing families in the western Tennessee valley.
