About this map

The Duck River carves a winding path through this Maury County landscape, creating dramatic features like Sellers Bluff and Alexander Bend. The region's industrial footprint is prominently displayed through an extensive network of tailings ponds and dams, including the Monsanto Number Fifteen Dam and Hooker Number Six Dam. These sites, alongside the Sellers Mine and Taylor Mine, indicate a history of significant mineral extraction and processing near the riverbanks.

Local history is preserved in dozens of family burial grounds such as Witherspoon Cemetery, Fitzgerald Cemetery, and Lasting Hope Cemetery. The community centers around small settlements like New Hope and Green Hill, while the Commodore D Loveless Bridge serves as a critical crossing point. From the heights of Tea Hill to the banks of Little Bigby Creek, the map provides a clear record of the intersection between Tennessee's natural topography and its industrial development.
