About this map

The Haywood and Madison county line bisects this portion of West Tennessee, where small farming communities and historic church congregations anchor the landscape. The town of Denmark serves as a local focal point in the southeast, distinguished by its concentration of religious sites like the Denmark Southern Methodist Episcopal Church Cem and the Denmark Christian Methodist Episcopal Church Cem. The terrain is defined by a dense network of minor waterways, including Cypress Cr and Cane Cr, which likely influenced early settlement patterns in villages like Wellwood, Union, and Leighton.

Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous family-named landmarks and cemeteries scattered throughout the region. Sites such as Walker Family Cem, Chapman Family Cem, and Norvell-Nicholson Cem reveal the deep-rooted family histories of this rural area. The presence of the Ebenezer Cumberland Presbyterian Church Cem and Saint John Baptist Church Cem Number 2 further illustrates the spiritual heart of these small rural crossroads at the beginning of the 21st century.
