2019 Map of Dickson

About this map

The Nashville & Eastern RR cuts through the heart of Dickson, a significant rail and transportation hub situated along the Tennessee Valley-Divide. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where modern infrastructure like the Dickson Municipal Airport coexists with deeply rooted rural settlements such as Eno, Pond, and Oak Grove. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows, including Wildcat Hollow and Plum Orchard Hollow, which channel various branches of the W Piney River and E Piney River. For family historians, the map is remarkably dense with burial grounds, capturing the locations of the Union Cem, Adams Cem, and Donegan Cem among many others. The distribution of these family-named landmarks and cemeteries suggests a long-standing pattern of multi-generational land ownership across the hills and springs of Dickson County.
