2010 Map of Greenfield Bend

About this map

The Duck River meanders through the heart of this landscape, creating dramatic bends such as Greenfield Bend and Shelby Bend. This Tennessee terrain is deeply dissected by numerous hollows and ridges, from the high Saunders Ridge to the narrow Buzzard Roost Hollow. The mapping reveals a dense network of family and local cemeteries that reflect generations of settlement along the waterways, including Sheboss Cemetery and Old Cathey Cemetery. Transport history is visible in the route of the Natchez Trace Pkwy, which traverses the hills near landmarks like Jackson Falls. The presence of the Weatherly Lookout Tower atop the ridge and the small community of Chapel Hill indicate the area's rural character. A complex drainage system including Blue Buck Creek, Catheys Creek, and Ugly Creek defines the local topography, shaping the agricultural and residential patterns of this Maury County region.
