About this map

Dublin and the surrounding agricultural lands of Graves and Hickman counties are defined by a complex network of wetlands and small rural intersections. The terrain is characterized by the extensive bottomlands of Obion Cr and its tributaries, including Cypress Cr and Brush Cr, which create a landscape of seasonal marshes and water bodies like Murphy Pond. These hydrological features have historically dictated the placement of roads and small communities, forcing routes to navigate around the low-lying basins.

Local genealogy and history are preserved through small family landmarks and rural outposts like Baltimore, Fulgham, and Holifield. The southeastern corner shows the modern transit influence of the Purchase Pkwy near Wingo, contrasting with the older, localized road network. Researchers can identify ancestral locations through sites such as Price Cem and Clark Cem, while descriptive road names like Hollifield Cemetery Rd and Baltimore Church Rd hint at the original social hubs of these farming hamlets.
