About this map

The Piney River and Duck River converge in this corner of Hickman County, creating a landscape defined by deep bends and narrow hollows. The settlement of Whitfield sits at a crossroads in the west, while the outskirts of Centerville appear to the east, connected by the winding path of Hwy 50 W Lp. This terrain is notably rich in family-named locations and burial sites, including the Murphy Cem near Whitfield and the McCollum Cem further south.

Fluvial features dominate the map, from Field Island and Logshoal Island to the distinct curves of Whitson Bend and Easley Bend. The crossing at Huddleston Bridge serves as a vital link over the Duck River, illustrating the historic transportation corridors that followed the river valleys. Uplands such as Mt Pillar and McCollum Hill rise above the many creek branches, including Trace Cr and Beaverdam Creek, which have shaped the settlement patterns and agricultural pockets of the region.
