1936 Map of Hookers Bend

About this map

Tennessee River traffic and landing points define this reach of Hardin County, surveyed just as the Tennessee Valley Authority began its transformative work in the region. The river is the central artery, punctuated by several historic access points including Cravens Landing, Dickey Landing, and the Saltillo Ferry at the northern edge. Inland from the river's distinctive loops at Pitts Bend and Hookers Bend, a network of small agricultural communities like Cerro Gordo, Swift, and New Harmony are visible, each anchored by local institutions. Genealogists will find many family-named landmarks and rural burial grounds, such as Smith Cem and Mc Casland Cem, alongside numerous country schools including Antioch Sch and Berlin Sch. The landscape is a complex web of small drainages like Indian Creek and Horse Creek, which necessitated early infrastructure such as the White Oak Bridge and Paulks Mill Bridge.
