About this map

The Tennessee River defines this portion of Hardin County, carving through the landscape in a deep arc that creates the prominent Hookers Bend. This survey documents a river-dependent geography marked by numerous historical access points, including Saltillo Ferry, Shannons Landing, and Cerro Gordo Landing. The presence of Farmers Union Landing suggests the agricultural commerce that once centered on these shores. Inland, the terrain is partitioned by smaller waterways like Horse Creek and Indian Creek, where local infrastructure is represented by landmarks such as Paulls Mill Bridge.

Genealogists will find an exceptional concentration of family and community burial sites. Significant locations such as New Prospect Cemetery, Robinsons Chapel Cemetery, and the Boiling Springs Cemetery are carefully plotted. Unique topographical features like the Petticoat Riffles and Sulphur Well provide further context to the local natural history and the placement of early settlements like The Fork.
