About this map

The Hatchie River and its wide, meandering floodplain at Hatchie Bottom define the northern reaches of this landscape. The river’s shifting course is evident in features like Horseshoe Lake and the Horseshoe Cutoff, marking the dynamic nature of the drainage system. This area is characterized by a high density of rural burial grounds, including the Harmony Cemetery, Mount Pleasant Cemetery, and the closely situated Old Cauley Cemetery and New Cauley Cemetery.

Transport and land ownership are closely tied to the topography, with roads such as Hillville Rd and Dancyville-Eurekaton Rd connecting scattered farmsteads. Several small dams, such as the Sammons Lake Dam and Freels Lake Dam, suggest a history of local water management for agriculture or recreation. Numerous family-named roads, like McGee Hardister Rd and Sonny Fletcher Rd, provide essential clues for genealogical research in this part of Tennessee.
