About this map

Hohenwald and the rolling hill country of middle Tennessee are defined by an intricate network of waterways and historic overland routes in this mid-1980s landscape. The Natchez Trace Parkway winds through the heart of the region, passing the Meriwether Lewis National Monument and connecting ancient travel corridors with modern accessibility. The terrain is structured by prominent elevations like Duck River Ridge and Sassafras Stand Ridge, which separate the various watersheds of the Buffalo River, Piney River, and the wide Duck River.

Industrial and agricultural hubs like Columbia and Mount Pleasant show the footprint of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, while smaller rural outposts such as Farmers Exchange, Pleasantville, and Only reveal the persistent settlement patterns of the Highland Rim. From the waters of Kentucky Lake on the western edge to the numerous small family cemeteries like Beasley Cem, the map documents a region where historic preservation and rural industry coexist.
