About this map

The State Line between Tennessee and Kentucky runs along the northern edge of this Obion County landscape, where the headwaters of Reelfoot Creek and its various branches, including North Reelfoot Creek and Tull Creek, carve through the terrain. The map captures a transition in local settlement patterns, notably featuring both Fremont and Old Fremont, alongside other small communities like Clayton, Protemus, and Beech.

Social and civic life is anchored by numerous rural congregations such as Antioch Ch, Old Republican Ch, and Sanders Chapel. Of particular interest to local historians is the site of the County Home near Cane Creek and the Lookout Tower positioned near Englewood Lake. The road network, featuring names like Troy Hickman Road and Old Highway 45, reflects the era's primary connections between these dispersed rural hubs and larger markets.
