About this map

The Humphreys County Courthouse serves as the focal point for Waverly, Tennessee, situated along the east-west corridor of Trace Creek. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply carved by numerous hollows, such as Pennywinkle Hollow, Brickhouse Hollow, and Sectionhouse Hollow, which influence the local road network and settlement patterns. To the south, the Duck River winds through the terrain near Elysian Grove, where smaller communities like Glenwood and the landmark Negro Ridge appear.

Genealogists will find a high density of family burial grounds scattered throughout the hills, including Hobbs Cem, Carnell Cem, and McAdoo Cem. The railroad infrastructure remains a defining feature of the local economy, passing through the town center and connecting outlying areas like Hopkins Crossing. The map preserves numerous local names for geographic features, from the heights of Stephany Ridge and Paint Rock Bluff to the drainage of Blue Creek and Pumpkin Cr.
