2013 Map of Brazil

About this map

The crossroads community of Brazil serves as a central point in this West Tennessee landscape, where small rural settlements are linked by a network of family-named roads. The terrain is defined by the drainage of the Middle Fork Forked Deer River, with Buck Cr and Reagan Cr carving paths through the agricultural fields. Evidence of early community centers remains visible through the naming of areas like Spring Hill, Hickory Grove, and the uniquely named Frog Jump. To the south, Gibson Wells indicates the importance of local water sources, while the presence of Wilson Cem Rd and W H Bowers Lake provides specific points of interest for genealogists tracing local families and land ownership. The map illustrates a rural economy still tied to the land and the waterways that historically supported the region's development.
