About this map

The hills of eastern Wayne County and neighboring Hardin County are defined by a complex network of hollows and ridges flanking Eagle Cr and Hardin Cr. Near the community of Clifton, the landscape is heavily marked by family-named landmarks and local burial sites, such as the Benham - Hughes - Speer Cem and Lizard Glade Cem. The road network, including the historic Toll Gate Pike, connects these remote reaches to Clifton Junction, where transportation routes converge along the dissected plateau.

Hydrological features are prominent throughout the terrain, from the Arnold Hollow Spring to the waters of Mill Cr and Bloody Br. Significant elevations like Dugout Hill and Gant Ridge overlook numerous namesake hollows, including Tarklin Hollow and Buck Hollow. This 2022 survey documents the persistent rural character of the region, where legacy homesteads and small cemeteries like Evans Chapel Cem and Philadelphia Cem remain central to the local geography.
