About this map

The Duck River meanders through this portion of Humphreys and Hickman counties, carving a complex network of hollows and ridges that define the local geography. Near the river, landmarks like Standing Rock and Bickerstaff Eddy suggest a landscape shaped by both water and tradition, while the presence of the Grandfathers Building points to specific local history. The settlement of Bucksnort sits at a critical junction near the southern edge, supported by the waters of Sugar Creek and the nearby community of Furnace.

Genealogists will find a high density of small family burial grounds throughout the hills, including Pruett Cem, McClanahan Cem, and Sanders Cem. The rural character is further detailed by numerous named hollows such as Egypt Hollow and Mossy Shoals Hollow, which speak to the historic timber and farming patterns of this Tennessee region. The map also records the winding paths of Tumbling Creek and Snake Cr, illustrating the vital water resources that once dictated the placement of early homesteads.
