About this map

The University of Tennessee Agricultural Experimental Farm occupies a significant portion of the landscape in this West Tennessee corridor, situated just southwest of the town of Atwood. This agricultural landscape is defined by the winding course of the Rutherford Fork Obion River and its numerous tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Sandy Branch. Small-scale water management is evident through features like Luckey Lake and Creswell Lake Number Thirty-one, while the local topography rises toward Webb Mountain and Clark Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several rural burial sites, including Poplar Springs Cemetery, Newhope Cemetery, and Friendship Cemetery, which are distributed along a network of historic thoroughfares such as Cades Atwood Rd and Poplar Springs Rd. The map illustrates the 2010 distribution of farmstead plots and the residential expansion around Atwood, set against the traditional drainage patterns of the DeMoss Creek and Johns Creek basins.
