About this map

Piney Fork and its various tributaries define the landscape of this Hickman County region, where the terrain is marked by dozens of named hollows and a legacy of mineral extraction. The map reveals a concentration of mining activity along the eastern ridges, including the West Black Hollow Mine, Aetna Mine, and the Washer Hollow Tunnel Mine. These sites, alongside several Piney Fork Prospects, indicate the industrial history of the area's geological resources.

Genealogists will find a significant number of family-named burial grounds throughout the countryside, such as Breece Cemetery, Springer Cemetery, and Horner Cemetery. Transportation and navigation across the rugged draws are facilitated by a network of local roads following the watercourses, including Bluewater Rd and Wades Branch Rd. Notable landmarks such as the Hornertown Lookout Tower and Nacome Camp serve as modern anchors in a landscape otherwise dominated by natural features like Sulphur Fork and Brushy Fork.
