About this map

Piney River meanders through the heart of the Tennessee hill country, carving a landscape defined by countless named hollows such as Texas Hollow and Griffin Hollow. The settlement of Pinewood serves as a local hub, featuring the Pinewood Sch and nearby family-named burial grounds like Brown Cem and Graham Cem. The region's infrastructure is dominated by the Louisville and Nashville railroad line, which follows the river's path through the valley, passing the Graham post office and the Brown Switch rail siding.

Evidence of local industry and transport appears in the form of abandoned open pit mines and the Matlock Ford river crossing. The geography is notably divided by the Dickson and Hickman County line, which bisects several prominent ridges. Spiritual life is centered around rural landmarks like Kedron Ch and Campground Ch, while an airway beacon on the western heights marks the introduction of mid-century navigational technology to this traditional agricultural and mining terrain.
