1952 Map of Spot

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Spot serves as a small community hub in this mid-century portrait of Hickman County, where the landscape is defined by a dense network of hollows and creek drainage. The Duck River cuts through the southeastern corner, while the Sugar Creek and Tumbling Creek valleys dictate the settlement patterns and road placements. This survey, updated with 1968 aerial data, reveals a high concentration of family-named cemeteries and rural churches, including McMackins Cem, Sanders Cem, and Indian Creek Ch. The presence of the Pinewood Lookout Tower and the Salt Lick landmark suggest a landscape transitioning from traditional agriculture to managed timber and forest services. Dozens of named hollows, from Limekiln Hollow to Chalkbank Hollow, illustrate the deep local geography and provided the namesake for many of the area's earliest homesteads and small family farms.
