About this map

Hatchie River dominates the northern landscape of this region, winding through the broad Hatchie Bottom and leaving behind distinctive oxbow formations like Horseshoe Lake and Powell Lake. The terrain here is defined by this river system and its various tributaries, including Bear Creek and Poplar Cr, which carve through the land south toward the tri-county meeting point of Haywood, Hardeman, and Fayette counties.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered around the dispersed settlements of Hillville, Eurekaton, and Cedar Chapel. The map documents numerous family and community burial sites, from Harmony Cem in the west to the Old Cauley Cem and New Cauley Cem near Hickory Creek. Roads often bear the names of established families, such as Alvis Stuart Rd, Thomas Powell Rd, and Jim Hardister Rd, reflecting a long-standing pattern of rural landownership and community structure in this part of Tennessee.
