1986 Map of Hohenwald

About this map

Kentucky Lake and the Tennessee River dominate the western edge of this 1980s landscape, where the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Duck River Unit preserves the bottomlands at the confluence with the Duck River. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent ridges, most notably Sassafras Stand Ridge and Nine Mile Ridge, which dictate the winding paths of the Buffalo River and its numerous tributaries. These watercourses were historically vital to local industry, evidenced by settlements like Furnace and Farmers Exchange.
