About this map

The Duck River meanders through a landscape of sharp bends and islands along the border of Maury and Marshall counties, defining the character of this central Tennessee region. During the late 1940s and through the 1980 update, the area maintained its rural identity through small crossroads like Verona, Berlin, and Milltown. The river was central to local commerce and geography, evidenced by features such as Lillard Mill, Hardison Mill, and several river crossings including Carpenters Bridge and Marshall Bridge.

Family history is deeply etched into the land via dozens of small burial grounds, including the Mc Curdy Cem and Whitsell Cem. Transportation networks are anchored by the Louisville and Nashville railroad and the Ellington Airport. The terrain is marked by distinctive elevations like Sanctified Hill and Berlin Hill, while the Duck River is dotted with numerous named islands such as Big Spring Island and Cundiff Island, reflecting a complex riparian environment that has shaped local settlement patterns for generations.
