1952 Map of Whitfield

About this map

The Duck River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Hickman County, creating a series of dramatic oxbows including Lowe Bend, Wilson Bend, and Council Bend. These tight river loops defined the local settlement patterns, leaving narrow peninsulas of land where small community hubs like Whitfield and landmarks like the Lowe Bend Ch were established. To the north, the Piney River joins the system, flowing past Mt Pillar Ridge and the Rock Field Ch.
