About this map

The Wolf River meanders across the border of Tennessee and Mississippi, carving through a landscape defined by the drainage basins of Indian Creek and Blind Tiger Creek. This 2015 data reflects the rural character of northern Benton County, where the settlement of Michigan City lies just south of the state line. Much of the eastern terrain is protected within the Holly Springs National Forest, while the central lowlands feature the expansive Robinson Bottom.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of small burial sites throughout the region, including Samuel Chapel Cemetery, McKenzie Cemetery, and Fleet Cemetery. The transportation network is anchored by Highway 72 and Old US-72, which connect the communities of Spring Hill and Canaan. The area's water resources are well-documented, featuring landmarks such as Hardaway Pond and the Indian Creek Watershed Number Eight Lake.
