About this map

The Meetinghouse Hollow Only Post Office sits at a northern crossroads, anchoring a landscape defined by the winding course of the Duck River. This mid-Tennessee terrain is marked by numerous family-named landmarks and historical crossings, including Grandmother Ford, Alexander Ford, and Burchard Ford. The river’s path creates distinct geographic features such as Horseshoe Bend and Burchard Town Bend, while the surrounding hills are divided by a network of hollows like Greasy Hollow and Spicewood Hollow.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of family burial sites, including the King Cemetery, Murphree Cemetery, and Flowers Cemetery. The map also details early infrastructure such as Schoolhouse Ridge and the Grandmothers Building, alongside water features like Blue Rock Shoals and the secluded Briar Pond. This documentation reflects a long-established rural community where transport once relied heavily on river fords and a network of winding county roads.
