2019 Map of Bradford

About this map

The South Fork Obion River and Rutherford Fork Obion River define the northern and southern drainage of this Gibson County landscape. Centered on the town of Bradford, the map illustrates a network of rural settlements including Idlewild, Skullbone, and Lynn. The area's genealogical record is well-represented through numerous community burial grounds such as Locust Grove Cem, Shiloh Cem, and Mount Pisgah Cem, often situated near rural junctions like Four Points and Tuckers Corner. The road system follows the local topography, with routes like Old Trenton Dresden Rd and Griffin Chapel Rd connecting long-established family homesteads and farms. Smaller waterways, including Bear Cr and Dolan Cr, cut through the terrain, creating a pattern of creekside agriculture and scattered dwellings that have persisted into the modern era.
