About this map

Woodbury serves as the focal point of this 1906 survey, situated at the confluence of the East Fork Stone River and its numerous tributaries. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the fertile valleys of the Stone River basin to the higher elevation of the Plateau of the Barrens in the southeast. This era's rural infrastructure is extensively documented, showing a network of toll roads such as the Murfreesboro Turnpike and essential community hubs like Hoovers Mill and McPeaks Mill.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks including family-named sites like Ewingsville, Porterfield, and Hurt. The map preserves the locations of numerous vanished or changed community centers, from the Willow Swamp School to remote congregations like Twelve Corners Church and Iconium Church. The presence of the County Farm and various crossroads stores like Bogles Store provides a window into the social and economic fabric of central Tennessee at the start of the century.
