About this map

The Tennessee River and its intricate network of sloughs and bluffs define this landscape, with Petticoat Riffles and Davis Island marking the waterway's passage through Hardin County. The settlement patterns reflect a deep connection to the river and local creeks, where communities like Cerro Gordo, Saltillo, and Hookers Bend are situated near significant water features like Cypress Pond Slough and Maple Slash Slough.

Genealogists will find a high density of family and community burial grounds, such as Boiling Springs Cem, New Russell Chapel Cem, and Isaac Reed Cem. The map reveals the infrastructure of an earlier era, including the White Oak Creek Canal and the historic site of Paulls Mill Bridge. Notable terrain features like Mary Jane Bluff and Huey Bluff overlook the winding river valley, illustrating the classic topography of this rural Tennessee region.
