2016 Map of Texas Hollow

About this map

The Piney River meanders across this landscape on the border of Hickman and Dickson counties, defining a region characterized by numerous named hollows and small, established settlements. At Pinewood, the confluence of the river and Big Spring Cr sits near the distinctively named Pinewood Boneyard Hollow, while further south, the community of Graham is anchored by its local landmarks. The distribution of family-named cemeteries, such as Peacock Cem, Meacham Cem, and Chappell Cem, suggests a deeply rooted local genealogy tied to the terrain's ridges and valleys. From the crossing at Matlock Ford to the heights of Missionary Ridge, the map illustrates a rural network of roads like Sam Vineyard Rd and Chappell Cemetery Rd that follow the natural topography of the river basin.
