About this map

The Caney Fork carves a deep, winding path through this Middle Tennessee landscape, forming the natural boundary between White and Van Buren counties. By the early 1960s, the influence of the Great Falls Lake and Center Hill Reservoir is evident in the broad, flooded channels of the Caney Fork, Collins River, and Rocky River. These waterways meet near the settlement of Rock Island, a focal point for local transport and recreation.

Upland from the river valleys, the map documents a network of rural communities such as Doyle, Quebeck, and Bone Cave. The Louisville and Nashville railroad tracks parallel the Nashville Road, connecting these settlements and serving local industry at the Quarry. Genealogists will find a high density of family-named burial grounds, including the Old Jericho Cem, Swindell Cem, and Moore Cem, alongside historic congregations like Spring Hill Ch and Mt Pisgah Ch.
