About this map

The Duck River meanders through this portion of Hickman County, shaping a landscape defined by deep hollows and riverine islands. Near the settlement of Whitfield, the river's path is marked by historical crossings such as Scotts Ford and Hicks Ford, as well as named bends like Easley Bend and Whitson Bend. These features indicate a long-standing reliance on the river for navigation and local transport before the expansion of the modern road network.

To the north, the Piney River joins the system, surrounded by numerous named drainages such as Little Piney Cr and Taylor Cr. The map preserves names of local landmarks like Briggs Chapel Hollow and Mount Pillar Ridge, while several water sources, including Weatherspoon Spring and Bluff Spring, point to the importance of natural hydrology in this rural Tennessee terrain. Genealogists may find value in the many family-named hollows and roads, such as Peeler Hollow and Billy Rochelle Rd, which reflect generations of local residency.
