About this map

The Duck River and Buffalo River carve deep, winding paths through the heart of middle Tennessee in the mid-1980s. This survey, compiled from data spanning the post-war decades, reveals a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and high, narrow divides such as Missionary Ridge and Sassafras Stand Ridge. The regional economy is anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor, connecting timber and agricultural communities like Hohenwald, Linden, and Centerville. Conservation areas are prominent across the western reaches, including the Tennessee National Wildlife Refuge Duck River Unit and Mouser Landing State Rustic Park.

History and memory are preserved at the Meriwether Lewis National Monument and in the numerous small country churches and cemeteries that dot the rural roads, such as New Hope Ch and Chestnut Grove Cem. Industrial sites like Speer Mill and Dickson Mill indicate the area's continued reliance on local resources, while the presence of the Maury County Airport marks the encroachment of modern transportation on this traditional river-and-ridge terrain.
