About this map

Dixonville and Quito sit at the center of this rural West Tennessee landscape, where the loess bluffs of Tipton County overlook the wide bottomlands of the Mississippi River. The terrain transitions sharply from the alluvial floodplain, marked by features like Sullivan Lake and Bridge Slough, to the dissected uplands where small communities and family-named landmarks are concentrated.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the rural distribution of several community hubs, including Drummonds, Saint Paul, and Wilkinsville. The map documents several significant burial sites for local research, such as Quito Memorial Cem, Saint Marks Cem, and Poplar Grove Cem. Notable geographic markers such as Peckerwood Point and Sigler Island Number Thirty-six define the river's edge, reflecting a century of hydrological shifts along this critical waterway.
