About this map

The Duck River carves a dramatic, winding course through this Hickman County landscape, creating isolated pockets of land like Tottys Bend and Anderson Bend. In the mid-20th century, this region remained a patchwork of small agricultural communities centered around crossroads like Littlelot and Burnham. The terrain is characterized by a dense network of hollows, such as Yankee Hollow and Stillhouse Hollow, which cut into the high ridges.

Social life in this rural Tennessee valley is anchored by numerous country churches and small burial grounds, including the Tottys Bend Church and the Darden Cem. Navigation across the river was essential for local commerce and connection, evidenced by landmarks like the Leatherwood Ferry and the Bratton Ford Bridge. Evidence of earlier industry persists at Little Rock Mills and an Open pit mine (Abandoned) located near Hilltop Church in the northwest.
