About this map

The Duck River snakes through the heart of Hickman County, shaping the landscape near Centerville during this mid-century period. The town serves as a focal point with its filtration plant, gaging station, and the nearby Centerville Airport. Industrial and agricultural activity is evident throughout the region, from the Nunnelly Mines and various strip mines to the county farm and Easterly-Wildland Country Club.

Transportation networks are well-defined by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the routes of Highway 100 and Highway 48. Rural life is anchored by numerous family cemeteries like Gossett Cem and Grays Bend Cem, as well as the Bernard Sch and Shipp Bend Ch. The terrain is characterized by intricate hollows and ridges, such as Harrington Ridge and Bushwhacker Hollow, alongside notable geological features like Johnson Cave and Wildcat Cave.
