About this map

The Duck River winds through a landscape of river bends and islands along the border of Maury and Marshall Counties. This 1947 survey captures a predominantly agricultural region defined by its water crossings and milling history, featuring Lillard Mill and Hardison Mill. The serpentine path of the river is punctuated by named islands such as Slick Shoals Island and Cundiff Ford Island, highlighting the importance of the river corridor before modern infrastructure altered local transport.

Upland settlements like Berlin, Verona, and Milltown are connected by a network of rural roads and the prominent Lewisburg and Franklin Pike. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of family-named burial grounds, including Morton Cem, Childress Cem, and Ownby Cem. The presence of the Louisville and Nashville RR in the southeast corner near Oslin shows the reach of rail commerce into these rural Tennessee communities.
