About this map

The South Fork Forked Deer River meanders through this West Tennessee landscape, marking the intersection of Crockett, Haywood, and Madison counties. The town of Bells serves as a central hub, where residential streets like Bell Meade St and College St meet the industrial corridors near Bells Aerobic Lagoon Number One Lake. The area's long-established community roots are evident in the high density of rural burial grounds, including Belleview Cem, Good Hope Cem, and Simmons Cem near the town center.

Moving away from the river, the terrain rises toward smaller settlements like Fruitvale and Walnut Hill. This survey documents a complex network of family-named roads, such as Edward Williams Rd and Joe Sherrod Rd, which connect outlying farms to local landmarks like Lewis Lake and the smaller Providence community. The abundance of cemeteries such as Luckenbill Cem and Macedonia Cem provides significant points of interest for genealogists tracing family histories in this part of the state.
