About this map

Piney River meanders through a landscape defined by deep valleys and high ridges along the border of Dickson and Hickman counties. Small settlements like Pinewood and Graham serve as focal points in a region characterized by numerous named hollows, including Texas Hollow, Kansas Hollow, and Boneyard Hollow. The distribution of family-named cemeteries such as Bruce Cem, Dodd Cem, and Shipp Cem suggests a long history of family homesteads scattered throughout the wooded terrain.

Upland features like Missionary Ridge and Tanbark Hill contrast with the riparian environments of Turkey Cr and Big Spring Cr. The map reveals a network of rural connections like Co Hwy 1854 and Tidwell Switch Rd, linking isolated crossings such as Matlock Ford with larger communities. This survey documents the persistent rural character of Middle Tennessee, where geographic features like Chalkbank Hollow and Wild Hog Hollow retain their traditional local identities.
