About this map

The winding Duck River carves a deep path through the borderlands of Hickman and Maury Counties, anchoring a landscape defined by sharp ridges and alluvial bends. Small crossroads and hamlets such as Kettle Mills and Shady Grove serve as historic focal points for the surrounding hollows. The topography is exceptionally detailed, showing the intricate drainage patterns of Catheys Creek and Blue Buck Cr, which have shaped local settlement for generations.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial grounds, including the Old Cathey Cem, Baker Cem, and Whitfield Cem. The Natchez Trace Parkway traverses the central terrain, crossing over legacy routes like Old Trace Rd and passing near distinctive landforms like The Kettle and Dog Ridge. These features, alongside named points like Delk Island and Peddler Bluff, reveal a rural Tennessee community where geography and family history are deeply intertwined.
