About this map

Big Swan Cr carves a deep path through the heart of Hickman County, shaping a landscape defined by an intricate network of hollows and ridges. This 2013 survey of the Sunrise area reveals a rural Tennessee geography where local history is preserved in names like Meetinghouse Hollow, Stillhouse Hollow, and Sugarcamp Hollow. These labels point to a heritage of early settlement activities, from timber and maple syrup production to community gatherings.

Small settlements such as Buffalo, Watson, and Deans dot the western reaches, while the Natchez Trace Pkwy skirts the southeastern corner, bridging the modern landscape with an ancient travel corridor. The map details numerous springs, including Swan Bluff Spring and Peery Spring, which fed the homesteads tucked into the valleys. For those tracing regional genealogy or land use, the placement of Jenkins Falls and the numerous family-named landmarks like Grimmett Hill provide specific anchors for historical research.
