About this map

The Middle Fork Forked Deer River and its numerous tributaries, such as Griffin Creek and Susan Branch, define the rolling West Tennessee landscape of this 1966 survey. The small community of Cedar Grove serves as a central point for the surrounding rural homesteads and agricultural tracts. Family and community history is anchored in several country churches and burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Ch and the Wood Hill Cem.

Notably, the map documents the intersection of Carroll, Henderson, and Madison counties, with high points like Mt Gilead providing vantage points for the Mt Gilead Lookout Tower. The northern reaches are drained by the Rutherford Fork Obion River, illustrating the complex drainage patterns that shaped the early settlement of this region. Features like Hoopers Lake and the Radio Tower reflect the mid-century infrastructure supporting the local rural economy.
