About this map

Mississippi River waters define the northwestern corner of this territory, where the Missouri Tennessee state line meanders through Linwood Bend. The landscape is a complex network of wetlands and drainage patterns, shaped by the Obion River as it winds toward its confluence, flanked by features like Rush Slough and Rock Slough. Small agricultural settlements and junctions are scattered across the alluvial plain, connected by a grid of rural roads such as Dummyline Rd and Tiger Tail Rd. Notable local hubs include Mengelwood and Tylersville, which sit amidst a terrain punctuated by Whites Lake and the Running Reelfoot Bayou. The map illustrates the contemporary rural character of Dyer County, showing the modern intersection of hydraulic engineering and traditional river-bottom settlements.
