The Duck River snakes through the heart of Hickman County, shaping a landscape of dramatic bends and fertile valleys in this modern survey. The town of Centerville serves as the central hub, surrounded by smaller settlements like Twomey, Nunnelly, and Fairfield. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows, including Duncan Hollow and Bushwhacker Hollow, which reflect the region's complex topography. This map is particularly valuable for genealogical research, as it identifies over a dozen burial sites throughout the rural countryside, from the Harrington Cem near the Centerville Municipal Airport to the Totty Cem in Tottys Bend. Transport and industry are represented by a network of local routes such as Washer Hollow Rd and Industrial Rd, while natural features like Blowing Spring and Nickells Lake punctuate the wooded hillsides. The mapping of Grays Bend and Eason Bend illustrates how the river's path has historically influenced land use and settlement patterns in Middle Tennessee.
