1952 Map of Texas Hollow

About this map

The Piney River meanders through this portion of the Dickson and Hickman county line, carving a landscape defined by dozens of narrow valleys like Texas Hollow and Chalkbank Hollow. This mid-century survey reveals a rural society built around small family settlements and decentralized institutions, such as the Pinewood Sch and Kedron Ch. Genealogy researchers will find an exceptional density of burial sites, including the Humble Cem, Temple Cem, and Meacham Cem, many of which are tucked into private hollows far from the main roads. Industrial activity is visible in the Open pit mines (Abandoned) and the presence of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, which follows the river's path south toward Graham (PO). The infrastructure of the era is further evidenced by a prominent Airway beacon on the heights above Tanbark Hill, serving as a navigational landmark for early aviation.
