2019 Map of Buena Vista

About this map

The Big Sandy River and its accompanying wetlands, such as Brittford Swamp and Robinson Swamp, define the topography of this Carroll County landscape. This region of West Tennessee is characterized by its numerous small settlements and family-named cemeteries, including Humbles Cem, Cawthon Cem, and McCallie Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research. The Tennessee Valley Divide passes through the southern portion of the area, separating the drainage systems of Little Bacon Cr and Hawkins Cr. Local centers of community like Buena Vista, Westport, and Smyrna are connected by a network of rural routes, including Buena Vista Rd and Westport Rd. Farther east, the small settlement of Dollar sits near the headwaters of Maple Cr, illustrating the dispersed residential patterns typical of this era in rural Tennessee.
