About this map

The unincorporated community of Pleasantville serves as the central hub of this modern survey of Hickman and Perry Counties, where narrow valley floors and winding ridge roads define the settlement pattern. This landscape is marked by a high density of family cemeteries, such as Ayers Cem, Williams Cem, and Beech Grove Cem, which often occupy elevated ground overlooking the hollows. These features indicate long-standing family landholdings and small, dispersed kin-based communities common throughout the Tennessee hills.

Creek systems like Cane Creek and Upper Sinking Cr carve deep into the terrain, creating named recesses such as Powder Mill Hollow and Negro Hollow. The presence of the Perry Co / Hickman Co line bisecting the quadrangle highlights the political boundaries that have historically divided these highland communities. The road network, including the CCC Rd, suggests early 20th-century public works influence on local infrastructure, while modern labels like American Way sit alongside traditional place names like Upper Sinking.
