The Natchez Trace road ran a short distance westward from this point and converged with the line of this pike, following its general course. It continued southwest to Cunningham's Bridge and up the hill to Duck River ridge, where it joined the Trace proper end to end. Opened under treaties with the Chickasaws and Choctaws made in 1801, the Natchez Trace was for many years the great highway from Natchez to Nashville.
