Gale, Yes I have the maps as well as others. I have revisited RG1177 for Davidson County last week and will do Sumner County this next week. For any named creek that I cannot for sure identify I'll research. The biggest obstacle for this period is the surveys of the Caney Fork drainages which Thomas Hickman did. Much to be desired.
