About this map

The city of Waverly serves as the focal point of this Humphreys County landscape, where the CSX railroad corridor runs parallel to the winding path of Trace Creek. The terrain is defined by a dense network of named hollows and ridges, such as Negro Ridge and McKelvy Hollow, which channel numerous tributaries toward the Duck River in the southwest. This river segment is notable for its natural navigation markers, including Paint Rock Bluff and the shallow waters of Johnson Shoals.

Outlying settlements like Glenwood and Elysian Grove are connected by a web of local routes like Scurlock Cemetery Ln and Baker Ridge Rd. Traces of the area's rural development are evident in the naming of places like Old Fields Place and Old Fairground Hollow. Water sources are abundant throughout the quadrangle, ranging from Carnell Spring in the north to the confluence of Blue Creek and Pumpkin Creek near the center of the sheet.
