1949 Map of Hookers Bend

About this map

Tennessee River commerce and the expanding waters of Kentucky Lake dominate this Hardin County landscape, where riverfront landings once served as the primary hubs for local trade. Historical points like Farmers Union Landing and Dickey Landing mark the old riverbank, while the settlement of Saltillo sits at the northern edge of this reach. The map captures a transition in the valley's rural life, showing established communities like Cerro Gordo alongside numerous family landmarks and rural institutions, including the Cerro Gordo Sch and Hobbs Mill.
