About this map

Sugar Creek and its many forks define the landscape of Hickman County in this 2010 study, where the terrain is heavily marked by family-named hollows and historic burial grounds. The namesake Spot Cemetery sits near the junction of South Fork Sugar Creek and Old Richmond Rd, serving as a central point for local genealogists. Evidence of early rural infrastructure remains visible in names like Schoolhouse Hollow and the Pinewood Lookout Tower, which overlooks the residential clusters near Wilder Lake Dam.

The map reveals a complex network of creeks including North Fork Sugar Creek and Middle Fork Sugar Creek, alongside numerous smaller springs like Smith Spring and Thornton Spring. This survey is particularly rich for family history researchers, documenting several smaller cemeteries such as McMackins Cemetery, Potter Cemetery, and Ladd Cemetery, which are tucked away near features like Hurricane Hollow and Limekiln Hollow.
