2016 Map of Clarksburg

About this map

Clarksburg stands as the central hub of this West Tennessee landscape, where the headwaters of several river systems emerge from the Tennessee Valley Divide. This geographic spine separates the drainage of the Rutherford Fork Obion River to the west from the Big Sandy River and Big Beaver Cr systems to the east. The 2016 terrain is defined by a dense network of local roads named for prominent families, such as Johnny Cook Rd, Milam Rd, and Cecil Walls Rd, leading to numerous private family burial grounds. Notable genealogy sites including Palestine Cem, White Cem, and Hart Cem are scattered across the rolling hills between the settlements of Jumbo and Union Cross. Near the junction of Interstate 40 and Highway 22, Parker's Crossroads represents the primary commercial corridor in this rural county transition.
