Preliminary - Under Construction
|
This site is being developed for the purpose of documenting the route of
the road as well as evaluating various images. The eventual use of this site will be used for later articles in various media.
We chose to arbitrarily call the road the "Station Camp Backwater Road". The road crosses Dobbins Pike a little over 4 miles north of Gallatin and runs
approximately 8 miles SW until it intersects Red River Road at Liberty Lane which is a little
less than 4 miles from Gallatin.
Work came about as a result of a conversation between Terry Bartlett and Bill Puryear detailing what Terry called "an old Ox Road" which
he knew about on his property as well as other properties along the central eastern section of the road. My involvement came about as a result
of Bill's excitement after viewing several sections of the road. We have
discovered many similar roads over the years and after viewing there was no doubt as to the validity of the road.
Research is being conducted in an effort to learn the actual name for this road using original land grants as well as deed records. Property owners along
the path have been very cordial and encouraging as to further development. You are invited to
follow the progress of this project as we continue work in it's development.
