About this map

The Stones River and its East Fork converge in this central Tennessee landscape, where the town of Woodbury serves as a focal point for the surrounding hollows and ridges. In the early 1960s, the community supported a concentrated residential core near the Filtration Plant and Brewer Cemetery, while the broader terrain is defined by family-named landmarks and rural outposts. Small settlements such as Davenport, Sheybogan, and Iconium are linked by winding routes like 70s and 53.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial grounds, including the Riverside, Sullivan, and Preston cemeteries, which often sit near local houses of worship like Sunny Slope Ch and Bethlehem Ch. The topographical survey highlights the deep-cut character of the land, specifically in named areas like Parchcorn Hollow, Tenpenny Hollow, and Reed Hollow, illustrating how the drainage patterns of Locke Creek and Todd Creek shaped the region's early development and settlement clusters.
