About this map

Piperton and Byhalia anchor this 2018 survey of the borderlands where Fayette and Shelby Counties in Tennessee meet Marshall and DeSoto Counties in Mississippi. The map illustrates a landscape in transition, where established rural communities like Barton and Handy Corner are increasingly interconnected by modern corridors like Goodman Rd. This era of the region is defined by its numerous small burial grounds, including Shiloh Cem, Coldwater Cem, and McGeehee Cem, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research in this multi-county junction.

The hydrological system is dominated by the westward-flowing Coldwater River and Nonconnah Cr, surrounded by low-lying wetlands and creek systems like Lee Cr and Byhalia Cr. Notable local landmarks such as Colonial Alt-Park and the industrial presence of Crimson Inc appear alongside a dense network of residential roads including Ponderosa Dr and Sara Addison Ln, reflecting the continued residential development extending outward from the metropolitan fringe.
