About this map

The winding Duck River dictates the landscape of this Hickman County region, carving deep bends like Bratton Bend and Tottys Bend through the terrain. These loops created naturally isolated pockets of land where early rural life centered on crossings such as the Tottys Bend Bridge and Bratton Ford Bridge. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of named hollows, including Willow Thicket Hollow and Newground Hollow, which drain into the river via numerous small branches like Tucker Br and Leatherwood Cr.

Local history is deeply rooted in the small settlements and family plots found throughout the area, from Little Rock Mills to the scattered graveyards that mark the lineage of the land. Allen Cem, McFarland Cem, and Harvill Cem are among many family-named landmarks that anchor the map's genealogy. High points and distinct plateaus, such as Dogwood Flat and Yankee Ridge, provide a contrast to the low-lying river bottomlands and islands like Anderson Island and Yellow Hole Island.
