About this map

The Mississippi River and the Obion River dominate this West Tennessee landscape, defining the low-lying terrain of western Dyer Co. Small rural communities like Tylersville, Mengelwood, and Big Boy Junction are scattered across the bottomlands, connected by a network of local roads such as Bradley Rd and Boothpoint Rd. The presence of Rock Slough, Rush Slough, and Running Reelfoot Bayou indicates a complex hydrological environment where water management is crucial for the agricultural land of Gum Flat Rd.

Bordering the Missouri Tennessee line, the map details the sharp turn at Linwood Bend and the prominence of Booth Point along the river's edge. Notable local landmarks including Whites Lake and the settlement of Richwoods highlight the pockets of development in a region historically shaped by floodplains and drainage. The mapping of named family roads like Miss Kelly Loop and Alvin Hall Rd offers significant value for those tracing local land ownership and genealogy in this corner of the state.
