About this map

The Duck River and Buffalo River converge in this section of Middle Tennessee, defining a landscape marked by deep hollows and wide river bottoms. The settlement of Hurricane Mills serves as a focal point near the winding Hurricane Creek, where the local terrain is carved into named features like Page Hollow and Hite Hollow. To the west, Bakerville sits along the Buffalo River near Cherry Bottom, illustrating how early Tennessee settlement patterns followed these fertile alluvial plains.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial sites throughout the ridges and valleys, including the Anderson Cem, Ladd Cem, and O'Donnilley Cem. The map also preserves the locations of vital crossing points such as Tanksley Bridge and Link Bridge, along with topographic landmarks like Fowlkes Hill and Walker Ridge that have likely served as property boundaries and local reference points for generations.
