2022 Map of Bruceton

About this map

The Big Sandy River forms a significant natural boundary on this map, separating Carroll and Benton Counties as it flows northward through West Tennessee. The landscape is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous winding tributaries like Hunting Creek, Watson Cr, and Smuthers Cr feeding into the river valley. The town of Bruceton serves as a primary settlement hub in the west, characterized by its grid-style residential streets such as Chestnut St S and Cheatham St, while smaller rural communities like Sawyers Mill, Sandy Point, and Post Oak are scattered throughout the eastern hills. Local industrial and land-use history is visible through features like the Hardy Sand Company Lake and the Benton County Airport in the southeast. Genealogists will find several family and community burial grounds, including Parks Cem, Mount Carmel Cem, and Greer Cem, which provide a clear record of the local population distribution across this rural corridor.
