About this map

The Tennessee River defines the western edge of this Wayne County landscape, where the town of Clifton serves as a primary hub. The river's influence is evident in the numerous historical points of access, including Clifton Ferry, Lego Landing, Glenkirk Landing, and Penny Slough Landing. These landings, along with Hassell Field, highlight the area's reliance on waterborne transport and local aviation. The terrain is deeply dissected by numerous watercourses such as Whiteoak Creek, Beech Creek, and Morrison Creek, which have carved out a complex system of hollows and ridges.

Genealogists will find a high density of family-named landmarks and burial sites throughout the territory. Notable locations include the Methodist Camp Ground Cemetery, Zion Cemetery, and the Primitive Baptist Cemetery. Small settlements and rural service points, such as Peters Landing Post Office, are linked by a network of local roads including Elvis Inman Rd and Lineberry Fork Rd. Distinctive natural features like Beech Creek Island and New Era Bluff provide further orientation for those studying the 2010 state of this riverfront community.
