2019 Map of Columbia

About this map

The Duck River snakes through the northern reaches of Columbia, providing a natural backdrop for a landscape defined by its many historic neighborhoods and family burying grounds. This 2019 survey captures the residential density of communities like Highland Park, Riverside, and Westwood, while the southern terrain transitions into the agricultural valleys of Neeley Valley and Covey Hollow. Notable for its concentration of family-named landmarks, the area contains dozens of small cemeteries such as Zollicoffer Cem and Mount Evergreen Cem that offer a significant record of local genealogy. In the south, the settlements of Bigbyville and McCains anchor a rural landscape where streams like Little Bigby Creek and Lytle Cr carve through the limestone-rich topography. Prominent hills such as Rainey Hill and The Knob overlook the city, marking the varied elevation of this Maury County seat.
