Have you ever wondered why the northern line of Tennessee isn’t a straight line?

Here's why: Before Kentucky and Tennessee were established as states, surveyors were sent out to determine the proposed states' lines. Their mission was to survey the 36 degrees 30 minutes parallel by starting near Virginia and heading west. Two survey crews were used; one consisted of Dr. Walker and Daniel Smith and the other of Col. Henderson and William Smith. However, during this survey project, the two crews had a disagreement and split up. By the time Dr. Walker's crew had reached the Tennessee River, they had deflected 17 miles north of the parallel of 36 degrees 30 minutes line. This survey upset Kentucky because it took land from them; likewise, Tennessee was not willing to risk losing Clarksville by following the true 36 degrees 30 minutes parallel. In 1820, the two states came to a compromise: Kentucky won west of the Tennessee River and the line remained at the 36 degrees 30 minutes line and Tennessee won east of the Tennessee River, known as the “Walker's Line”, allowing it to keep Clarksville. Hence, the northern line of Tennessee as we know it today.

Surveying encompasses more time than the hours the field crew is at your property marking your corners. Yesterday, our team found this relic while researching right-of-ways of an original subdivision established in Mt. Pleasant. The Frierson Addition to Mt. Pleasant was established in 1919… more than 100 years old! The right-of-ways still hold true today. The character of the hand-written, century-old deeds adds so much charm to this find.
