2016 Map of Brownsville

About this map

Brownsville serves as the focal point of this Haywood County landscape, showing the town's modern footprint alongside numerous historic burial grounds. The urban street grid transitions into a rural topography defined by the winding course of the Hatchie River, which creates a complex network of oxbows and floodplain features such as Bullpen Lake, Moon Lake, and Horseshoe Lake. These riparian wetlands contrast sharply with the developed areas and agricultural lands to the north. For those researching local families, several established cemeteries including Oakwood Cem, Rosenwald Cem, and Israel Cem are clearly marked. The map also captures smaller named water bodies like Solaris Lake and Bomer Lake, reflecting the region's managed water resources and residential expansion along the county's road network.
