About this map

The Duck River snakes through a landscape defined by deep hollows and sharp bends in this detailed survey of Hickman County. Near the eastern edge, the settlement of Centerville sits perched above Clifty Hollow, while Whitfield serves as the focal point for the western portion of the map. The region's geography is intricately tied to the waterways, with prominent features like Easley Bend, Council Bend, and Logshoal Island illustrating the river's winding course.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of family names preserved in the terrain and local landmarks. Numerous small family burial grounds are documented, including Hassell Cem, Fowkes Cem, and Weatherspoon Cem. The network of backroads, such as Beasley Hollow Rd and Dodd Hollow Rd, connect scattered homesteads to local landmarks like Beaverdam Bridge and the Weatherspoon Spring, revealing the settlement patterns of this rural Tennessee valley.
