About this map

The Duck River meanders across this part of central Tennessee, defining the urban and rural development of Shelbyville. This 2010 survey shows the city's growth around its core, including the Shelbyville Post Office and the sprawling Tennessee Walking Horse National Showgrounds. The river’s influence is visible in the numerous crossings that have served the community for generations, from the Shelbyville Dam to traditional river access points like Skull Camp Ford, Moore Ford, and Kizer Ford.

Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the many family and municipal burial grounds, such as Old Shelbyville City Cemetery, Willowmount Cemetery, and Coates Cemetery. To the east, the suburb of Forest Hills sits near the Hillcrest Memorial Gardens. The landscape transitions into high points like Sugarcamp Hill and Wiggins Hill to the south, while smaller water bodies like Poplar Lake and Catfish Lake dot the outlying farmland, indicating a region where local agriculture and traditional river life intersect.
