About this map

Westport and Buena Vista anchor this rural Carroll County landscape, which is defined by the winding course of the Big Sandy River and its expansive wetlands. The terrain is marked by a complex network of creeks and swamps, such as Bradford Swamp and Goose Pond Swamp, which reveal the hydrology of the western Tennessee lowlands. The presence of the Tennessee Valley Divide highlights the natural geographic boundaries that have influenced settlement patterns and drainage throughout the region.

Local historians and genealogists will find several family-named burial sites scattered across the countryside, including Humbles Cem, McCallie Cem, and Birdwell Cem. Small communities like Smyrna and Garrettsburg appear alongside landmarks such as Sunshine Lake, while the local road network—featuring routes like Enoch Cemetery Rd and Buena Vista School Rd—connects these legacy settlements and farmsteads.
