About this map

The Mississippi River defines the western edge of this Tipton County landscape, where the floodplain meets the dissected uplands of West Tennessee. Along the river, Cedar Point Landing and Sigler Island No 36 sit adjacent to the Densford Revetment, showing the engineered efforts to manage the shifting waterway. Moving inland, the terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages including Hurricane Creek and Quito Creek which carve through the wooded hills.

Local life is anchored by small crossroads and church-centered communities such as Quito, Dixonville, and Drummonds. Genealogists and local historians can trace family locations near landmarks like Poplar Grove Ch, St Marks Ch, and Saluted Cem. The boundary between Tipton Co and Shelby Co is clearly demarcated, crossing rural routes like New Bethel Road and Walker Road as they navigate the area's complex topography.
