About this map

Mississippi River waters define the northwestern boundary of this Dyer County landscape, where Linwood Bend and Boothpoint mark the edge of Tennessee at the Missouri border. The interior terrain is dominated by a complex network of waterways, including the winding course of the Obion River, Whites Lake, and Running Reelfoot Bayou. These hydrologic features dictate the placement of local settlements and the winding paths of rural roads like Great River Rd N and Little Levee Rd.

Small agricultural and residential hubs such as Mengelwood, Tylersville, and Richwoods are connected by a grid of family-named routes, including Yarbro Rd and Alvin Hall Rd. The presence of Big Boy Junction and the wetlands around Rock Slough reflect the low-lying, river-adjacent character of the region. This map serves as a detailed guide to the contemporary rural infrastructure and natural drainage patterns of this Mississippi River floodplain.
