About this map

The Shiloh National Battlefield dominates the northern landscape of this Hardin County quadrangle, preserving the historic ground of Fraley Field. The Tennessee River serves as the central geographic spine, flowing north toward Kentucky Lake and shaping the development of riverside settlements like Hamburg and Pyburn. The terrain is deeply etched by a network of waterways including the Lick Creek Canal, Chambers Creek, and numerous family-named branches and creeks that define the rural character of the region.

Local history is preserved in a remarkable density of family and community cemeteries, from the Cromwell Cem and Sugar Hill Cem near Shiloh to the Walker Cem and Burks Cem surrounding the town of Counce. This area reflects a long-standing pattern of dispersed upland settlements like Childers Hill and Southside, where country churches such as the Pisgah Methodist Church Cem and Salem Cem have anchored these communities for generations.
