2019 Map of Atwood

About this map

The Rutherford Fork Obion River meanders across the center of this landscape, marking the boundary between rural Gibson and Carroll counties. The town of Atwood serves as a local hub, situated at the intersection of critical regional routes and the CSX Transportation railroad line. Small rural settlements like Whitthorne, Ledbetter, and the aptly named Graball are scattered throughout the agricultural terrain, often centered around family-named landmarks and local cemeteries such as Keaton Cem and Pisgah Cem. Rising above the bottomlands, Webb Mtn and Clark Mtn provide distinct topographic relief in an area otherwise defined by creek drainages like Wolf Cr and Sandy Br. The network of roads, including Flippen School House Rd and Cades Atwood Rd, reflects a long history of rural schooling and community connections that have defined West Tennessee for generations.
