2013 Map of Bells

About this map

Bells serves as the primary hub of this West Tennessee landscape, situated north of the meandering South Fork Forked Deer River. This 2013 topographic survey captures a transition in the local infrastructure, documenting numerous family-named roads like Edward Williams Rd and Ezra Emison Rd that anchor the surrounding agricultural tracts. Smaller communities such as Fruitvale, Providence, and Poplar Corner remain distinct, reflecting the enduring rural settlement patterns of Crockett County. The hydrology of the region is defined by the heavy presence of creek systems including Cypress Cr, Panther Cr, and Pearsons Cr, which feed into the river valley. In addition to natural features like Byrd Lake, the map also details modern utilities such as the Bells Aerated Lagoon Number One Lake, providing a clear picture of the area's contemporary water management systems alongside its historical road network.
