About this map

Hatchie River and its expansive Hatchie Bottom dominate the central geography of this Hardeman County survey. The landscape is defined by the winding river and its numerous tributaries, including The Big Creek, Porters Creek, and Cub Creek, which create a complex network of wetlands and drainage basins. The settlement at Hebron sits near the junction of several local routes, serving as a focal point for a rural community structured around small schools and country churches.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Oak Hill Sch and Pine Grove Sch to the numerous family-named burial grounds like Salem Cem and Sasser Cem. The map also captures the early aviation history of the area with a noted Landing Strip near Hayes Branch. This document records the rural infrastructure of mid-century Tennessee before modern agricultural and forest management practices altered the land use patterns around Bolivar.
