2016 Map of Atwood

About this map

The Rutherford Fork Obion River meanders across this West Tennessee landscape, marking the transition between Gibson and Carroll counties. Centered on the town of Atwood, the survey shows a network of rural communities including Whitthorne, Hopewell, and Ledbetter. Significant genealogical value is found in the scattered burial grounds such as Pisgah Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Keaton Cem, which are often located near historical road junctions like Old Atwood Rd and Flippen School House Rd. The terrain is characterized by modest elevations like Webb Mtn and Clark Mtn, while the drainage system is defined by numerous local branches such as Sandy Br and Steep Bank Br. The industrial edge of Milan appears in the southwest, contrasting with the agricultural character of the surrounding countryside.
