About this map

Duck River meanders through the heart of this landscape, carving deep bends and hollows along the borders of Maury, Hickman, and Lewis counties. The Natchez Trace Parkway serves as a modern corridor through this historic region, tracing the path of the old frontier road. Notable river crossings like the Gordon Ferry Bridge near Shady Grove highlight the area's historical reliance on ferry points and river-based transport.

Settlement patterns are deeply rooted in family history and rural industry, evidenced by the numerous cemeteries including Bingham Cem, Old Cathey Cem, and Whiteside Cem. The small communities of Kettle Mills, Isom, and Taylorsville remain connected by winding routes like Old Trace Rd and Catheys Creek Rd. Local landmarks such as the Stephenson School and Union Church anchor these scattered hamlets among the ridges and hollows like Buzzard Roost Hollow and Sugar Camp Hollow.
