About this map

Arlington serves as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, situated along the Louisville and Nashville railroad corridor. The town's mid-century footprint is detailed with infrastructure like the Arlington Airport, a Waterworks, and the Arlington Sch. To the north, the terrain transitions into agricultural land defined by Pleasant Ridge and the Loosahatchie River valley.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of family-named landmarks and rural institutions, including Barret Chapel and its associated High School, alongside numerous burial grounds such as Bethel Cem, Hammond Grove Cem, and Ludicia Cem. The map illustrates a complex water management system where natural flows like Beaver Creek meet engineered features like the Beaver Creek Canal and Cypress Creek Canal. Commercial activity is evidenced by several Gravel Pits scattered across the ridge, while the community of Hall marks the southern reach near the corporate boundary.
