About this map

Hickory Flat and the surrounding drainage basins of Coon Cr and Sinking Cr define this rural Tennessee landscape. The area is characterized by an intricate network of named hollows, many bearing the names of early families such as Willis Barber Hollow, Taylor Hollow, and Hensley Hollow. These small settlements and family holdings are linked by a web of winding routes like Old State HWY 20 and Sassafras Stand Ridge RD.

Local landmarks such as Horse Pond and the eponymous Graves Spring indicate the critical role of water sources in this wooded terrain. The geography is notably divided by ridges, where labels like Boneyard Hollow and Apple Orchard Hollow suggest a history of agricultural use and localized industry. This map serves as a primary resource for researchers tracing lineage through the many eponymous features that dot the hillsides between Hurricane Cr and Arkansas Br.
